Funny you should say this because, in my opinion, Samsung have released the best feeling and handling MILC so far: The
NX10. I've shot the Olympus E-PL1 and currently shooting the Panasonic G2; they're both
very good cameras, but when I walk out the door to do my own shooting, it's the NX10 I pick up.
Samsung is a huge corporation, and the guys making toasters or microwaves are not the same guys making cameras. There is a separate camera department, and Samsung recently created an independent optics department. If Samsung hires the right people to work these departments (people who love photography and understand cameras and lenses) then they'll produce great cameras. From what I can tell after using the NX10, that's exactly what they've done.
In short: Don't be prejudiced against Samsung just because they're a big company with interests in many areas of technology
