Am I misreading your general overall tone or have you been a bit less than overjoyed with the nx 2000 as a system (compared to sony nex and micro 4/3) ?

From a system perspective it is very hard to beat MFT (and specifically Panasonic) at the moment.
Sony and Samsung are quite a distance behind. Camera-wise the NX200 is Ok although I would prefer the NEX 5n here in a direct comparison between these two.
My primary concern about Samsung NX is QC though - specifically regarding their OIS stuff. Or in other words - I've yet to see an OIS lens without issues ... This is obviously the key aspect that defines how much a "like" a system simply because it has a direct relation to my (testing) work and work efforts.
Other than that I've also a mixed feeling about the way Samsung tries to tackle the market. The "carry series" (the pancakes & the 20-50) of lenses make sense to me on a mirrorless system but e.g. the 60mm Macro and 85mm f/1.4 are monsters - they are simply too big & heavy and comparable with (full format) DSLR offerings.
