Faster, bit more DR, that back AMOLED (I think its AMOLED) is supposed to be really good.

Here its about 900 EUR or so, but with either tablet from Samsung or 50-200mm zoom. So its not that expensive.. Just maybe it wouldnt be bad if they sold just body..

The only way the nx20 is faster is that it can do 1/8000 shutter speed, which i believe is nx20 exclusive (in the nx line).

the nx210 also has an AMOLED screen

honestly both the nx210 and nx20 are overpriced. the nx210 should cost about the same as the sony nex 5r, and the nx20 should cost less than the olympus OMD EM5 (which is way more customizable, has a lot more features, is weather sealed, has better AF, a better EVF, has a comparable sensor, etc.). i think the nx20 is only $100 cheaper than the em5, but the price difference should be a bit more iMO.

I think Samsung was trying to price their products as premium to attract attention or break the mindset that all nx cameras are only good if you're looking for basement bucket prices during sale times, which, i think they have succeeded to an extent, since i no longer feel like i'm buying samsung products just because they're more affordable. however, their bodies definitely are not capable of commanding the prices they are at right now (although a lot of the bodies+kit lens are about $100 off right now and offering the 50-200mm for free)

was surprised with the price and seems a pretty good offer. and I like the silver top plating color.
