All in all, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX210 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will deliver extra detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older NX210 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
