i have a series of Samsung cameras including EX1 (TL500). I have been impressed by build quality and certain quirky but fun features on Samsung. Most of my shooting is with Canon 7D.

So what would posess my to buy a NX 210 knowing that it falls short of the NX 300? I really liked getting APS C Sensor. The form factor , nice construction and here is the last part low price. At $300 it is half price of NX 300. So is a 300 twice the camera ? Wht say you all, I am I crazy to do this ?

The NX300 is much less of an upgrade over the NX210 than the NX200 was over the NX100, but that's to be expected.

The big improvement in the NX300 should be the PDAF. The rest of the upgrades are relatively minor. I'm not at all a fan of touch screens on cameras. The articulating screen can be helpful but it also adds some weight and bulkiness to the basic design. And Samsung removed the rear control wheel.

I would be curious to see if Samsung fixed the two big issues with the NX series: very slow write speeds and brain-dead flash control (not that the available dedicated flashes are anything to write home about even if they did fix it).
