  "account": "Samsung’s mirrorless camera line began with the NX10 in 2010, showcasing potential with the NX Mini in 2011. The NX10 was one of the first mirrorless cameras to connect directly to the Internet via the Galaxy NX, the world's first mirrorless camera to embrace an Android operating system. The NX Mini featured a flip-up selfie screen and a one-inch sensor. Despite these innovations, Samsung struggled to gain traction due to its proprietary NX lens mount and ecosystem, which deterred potential adopters. The company eventually shifted its focus to smartphone manufacturing, abandoning the NX mount and lens system in the process. Despite these setbacks, Samsung’s NX line demonstrated a willingness to innovate and introduce groundbreaking features, such as 4K video and a tilting rear screen, which remain essential in modern mirrorless cameras.",
  "summary": "Samsung incorporated some great ideas into its discontinued camera series that wouldn't just find favor today, but would have given smartphone adopters less reason to ditch digicams in the first place",
