To say Samsung’s latest compact system camera offering is “feature-packed” seems like an enormous understatement. The new NX210, the company’s latest mirrorless interchangeable-lens model, inherits the 20-megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor from its brother, the NX200, which was introduced less than nine months ago. However, the NX210 has been outfitted with a bunch of upgrades: quicker continuous shooting (claimed 8fps over the NX200′s 7fps), an optional cable release, an external microphone and — the biggie — Wi-Fi connectivity that enables speedy photo and video sharing either to the web or to your smartphone.

The look and feel of the 210 is identical to the 200. It’s edgy, determined and purpose-built. It lacks the smooth rounded corners typical of the average point-and-shoot. The wave-like bulge that makes up the grip is both gracefully executed and very comfortable. It juts forward just enough to give your hand plenty of purchase without detracting from the aesthetic essence of the piece. The controls on the top and back of the body are clean and simple. The video “go” button is perfectly placed for right-thumb access. The software interface is one of the best in the compact system camera space, and it’s easily seen through the bright and punchy 3-inch AMOLED screen. The display is clear at almost any angle, and it’s even easy to read in bright sun.
