Yeah, mirrorless, please excuse my lack of experience with these things. Sony was late, but has captured majority of the market on such basis.
I think you're absolutely right that Samsung has the ability to get it right, Since they got many renowned products such as Their slim LED TV's, Hard Drives, The NEXUS (that thing is Godly), and Their Galaxy Tablets and Phones. A friend of mine owns a Point and Shoot Camera by samsung, and it's pretty darn good, especially when compared to another camera of that period and price range By Sony, Fujifilm Etc.
I think samsung also was the first with the Front Facing LCD, for taking Self-Portraits.

And now has one camera with the 180 Degree adjustable LCD
