haven't you heard of the term improvement? or evolution? you should be glad that products are continually improving significantly rather than getting the same old product with a few facelifts and sold for more.

adding standard features like a remote shutter connection (which was btw available on the nx100) can hardly be called an improvement.
plus the nx210 in fact seems to be a facelift sold for more.

i am not talking about nx100-> nx20/nx210 but about the nx200 which was released quite recently.
the nx200 has exactly the same connections as the announced nx210

the only info available is a preview stating that the usb remote shutter wont be backwards compatible (both cameras have usb) and a posting in a forum which says that the mic will use the extra pins on the hot shoe.

if remote shutter (and maybe other accessories) will not be backwards compatible then this means that there will be NO accessories available for the nx200 except 3 flashes.
