Conclusion: We're mixed

The NX210 is a decent mirrorless compact camera, and takes very good stills and shoots good HD video. It also includes built in Wi-Fi, which makes sharing and uploading images a breeze. However, it doesn't include a flash, there are few lenses available for Samsung's NX system compared to other mirrorless compacts, and its $900 price tag is steep for what it offers. For $200 less, you can get Samsung's NX1000, which includes the same 20-megapixel sensor and Wi-Fi, but has a lower-end display and more limited kit lens. If you can get along without Wi-Fi and a 20-megapixel sensor, you can get the gdgt Must-have Sony NEX-5N -- which benefits from a much better selection of lenses, and includes a flash -- for about $300 less.

Digital Photography Review Aug 13, 2012

The Samsung NX210 offers you the high pixel-count and compact dimensions of the NX200 and adds WiFi-connectivity to the mix. The NX210 is slightly let down by long buffering times in raw mode and the JPEG engine's noise treatment at high sensitivities but overall it is a powerful photographic tool.

The healthy set of auto and manual controls, beautiful OLED display and UI combination, good photo quality, and best-in-class Wi-Fi features make the NX210 well worth looking at -- though it's a bit more expensive than it should be.

So in spite of its flaws, and especially if you’re the “social” type, the NX210 is an excellent camera for showing off more of your life in living color.

The Samsung NX210's raw photos and the shooting experience it provides distinguish it from competitors, but it's slower than it should be and JPEG photos don't match the rest of the field.

Ignore the NX210’s shortcomings and it’s really all about that excellent image quality. It’s that combined with the decent build quality that will sell the NX210.

With only Wi-Fi separating it and its now retired predecessor, the Samsung NX200, this is an expensive proposition for what it is.
