Samsung will apparently release a new variant of NX200 for South Korean consumers this Saturday. It will be known as NX200 RS which will sport a classic design so as to give a retro feeling with new features. The ‘retro-ness’ is only on the color front, which will have a dual-color setup – silver on the top with black for the rest of the body.

Technical features however, are expected to be the same. NX200 comes with a 20.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor, full HD video recording support, 3-inch AMOLED display with VGA resolution, Smart Filter, Digital Image Stabilization, 3D picture, panorama support and iFunction 2.0 lens support.
