Just bought a NX 210 Am I crazy to do so?

why did not buy nx300 first?

i) bought NX200 long before 300 was released.

ii) like the OP mentions, there is the question about value...  if I was buying today, i *MIGHT* be tempted to go with the nx210 instead of 300.  There will always be something better next year, and people have limited cash to spend.  (But the RAW write speeds *are* really annoying)

also why cry for buying nx85? not good buy?

No.  I think it was a great buy, but I have limited money for "toys."  NX300 and 85mm were about the same price ($500), so it was no-brainer for me on where this summer's "toy" fund should go.

They vastly improved the point you criticize, and you won't even give itna try?

Well here is a follow up to my OP. The NX 210 build quality is far beyond my expectations and frankly certainly  better than NEX series. The images it can produce are stunning . For the price paid the value for money was off the charts.

However who could possibly imagine that a very enticing offer came out at the beginning of the week that essentially meant that  a NX 300 was a fantastic bargain as well. Several other posters also indicated they took advantage of it as well. So all of a sudden I now have a NX 210  NX 300  ,20-50mm , 18-55mm, 50-200mm and  in 2 weeks a substantial credit towards a 20 or  a 30mm.

But that is just stuff. What I really  have already are some beautiful images and that is what it is all about.

Man, you are now hooked as I do...nx system is just great, even if so many ppl will call you mad and won't even want to try these fantastic cameras and lenses. We'll leave them having fun with their beloved nex

If you don't need the tilt screen, and higher resolution than nx 210 is a good call at that price. I'm using e3&epl2 and did buy the magnificent nx300 for my wife, and yes it performs very well in low light and yet still love the ft 2x cf Olympus... So there's nothing wrong and you're not crazy

what higher resolution are you referring to? I have both cameras and see absolutely no difference in the images. Its the same sensor and the same firmware, am I missing something or are you saying that because it cost more the 300 is producing better images. I think not.
