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.

if Samsung doesn't make a firmware that would allow backward compatibility, then that's what the NX210 is there for.

I'm not yet sure what exactly are the similarities between the NX200 and NX210, but if the upgrade is not more than just WiFi, then I agree it is a facelift of it. but if for some reason there are other improvement such as IQ tweaks, faster processing, better display screen, faster AF, etc... then it's a worthy consideration.

just don't forget about the NX20, which I'm more interested.

it's exactly the same body, the nx210 seems to have a modified sensor and wifi.

I don't question that there has to be improvement and that old equipment won't be supported at one point it time.

but the nx200 was just released end of last year, lot's of reviews are even 1-3 months old - and it never got a lot of attention from samsung. no extra accessories, not even announced and no information about future plans (processing lockup, RAW format, manual focus issues... ).

Raw format has been addressed on the recent firmware. also, what manual focus issue?

Now the problem is how to make a hole into this external micro and insert a minijack to conect a  hand microphone.

I've bought NX210 cause I read in some place that this camera had an external mic input. It's true, but it's not a mini jack. Now I'm looking any way to connect a microphone to NX 210

Do you have any clue if i could get this in australia?

Jay, do you know where I can buy one of these?  Have spent days on the phone with Samsung and other suppliers and can't find one in the US.  Big issue because I need it for my new NX300.  Alternatively any ideas for an alternative external mic for the NX300?
