Samsung GX-20 review
Verdict
The GX-20 can be viewed as the fruit of a successful manufacturing partnership. Samsung’s electronics expertise has been coupled with Pentax’s long-standing photographic heritage to produce a camera that manages to meet a high specification while not breaking the bank.
The semi-pro/prosumer specification that made the former a hit has been bolstered with the boost in resolution of the sensor, while further interface and usability tweaks make the GX-20 easy to use. The fully weatherproofed body is a real asset, and, along with the increased resolution, mean the GX-20 would be at home with the enthusiast photographer in field or studio.

Whilst I applaud Samsung for their brave step into the DSLR world, I suspect that at least the older photographer who cut his/her teeth with one of the well known brand cameras, he/she may have a hangup about the word Samsung hanging from their neck. Having said that, this camera really does give a a top notch performance and younger phots will be less inclined to put any stigmatism on its name. Pentax now need to equal this performance with a similar price. Peter
