I had the NX100 for a short time (a long time actually, during which it was mostly in the repair centre. Anyway...) and the NX200 definitely has a wider dynamic range, but there is something to watch out for: when you try to take the shadows and bring them up at all, because there is a colour cast that depends on the lens - there are several threads on this. Bring up the shadows just a little and it's just an extremely slight, almost imperceptible colour cast. Bring them up a lot and it is obvious. I haven't noticed anyone reporting this issue on the NX1000, NX210 or NX20. And of course the NX300 is coming out with yet again another sensor (if only to add phase autofocus sensels).

It's good to hear that the DR is indeed wider on the NX200. Too bad there are problems with bringing up the shadows, but quite frankly my 5DII has some real problems there as well so I've learned to avoid that by exposing to the right. Thanks to the highlight DR of the full frame sensor this is quite doable, but my NX11 would give me much more trouble.

How is the highlight DR of the NX200? How much headroom do the RAW files have?

I think the NX200 colour depth and resolution are a nice improvement over the NX100, especially highlighted by the 30mm. But if I was choosing right now I would definitely get the NX20 or wait.

The NX200 would be my 3rd or 4th camera so I'd like to keep the cost down. The NX200 can be had for very goof prices these days while the NX20 hasn't come down very much...
