Solidly built metal casing. Design is both aesthetically pleasing and very comfortable to shoot with. The 18-55mm kit lens is optically stabilized for better images at slower shutter speeds. In manual focus mode, LED display automatically zooms to the...

No built-in flash. No flash control button, so you’ve got to use the function button and then scroll to the flash icon to change or adjust the flash output. Slow RAW processing. The Wi-Fi functionality would benefit from a touchscreen. Android apps...

Good image quality with very high resolution and good detail at base ISO ; Well-designed and intuitive user interface, suitable for point-and-shoot users and enthusiasts alike ; Good customizability including the useful iFn button ; Attractive...

Longer than usual processing times after taking raw shots (but improved over NX200) ; Fairly aggressive noise reduction starts blurring detail at lower ISOs and mixes with high levels of chroma noise at higher sensitivities ; No live view feed in...

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...

The new NX210 is a very modest update of the NX200, principally adding a range of Wi-fi connectivity options to a 9-month-old camera. While we still like the NX210's excellent image quality, the compact system market has become even more crowded in the...

Very good image quality ; Compact, well-designed, solidly built body ; Gorgeous 3-inch AMOLED display ; Excellent Wi-Fi implementation ; Attractive, easy-to-use interface with help screens for every option ; Full manual exposure controls, plus white...

Burst mode woes: camera locked up while saving to memory card, display lags behind the action, small amount of buffer memory ; OLED display can be difficult to see outdoors ; A bit pricey ; Camera's small size becomes moot when a zoom lens is attached...

Overall, I really enjoyed my time with the Samsung NX210. 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...

Nice images ; Stylish ; Screen good in bright sunlight ; Digital level

Remote viewfinder lacks functionality ; Screen only 614k dots ; No in-built flash ; Limited lens range

Buying GuideBest camera accessories Although it was one of the first camera manufacturers to go mirrorless, Samsung hasn't quite seen the same success as its rivals in the compact system camera field.

Metal body construction ; Large image sensor ; Crisp AMOLED screen

No built-in stabiliser ; No built-in viewfinder ; Too similar to the NX1000

Great image quality for such high resolution, enough lenses to compete against the competition, quality construction

Pricey, doesn’t offer much beyond budget NX1000 model, mis-focusing in low light when using AF-assist lamp, not possible to add a viewfinder, burst mode processing "lock out”

The NX210 is an impressive compact system camera that relies on its mighty 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor to deliver the goods. And deliver it does: images are not only large, but also detailed, in particular at the low-mid ISO settings.
