DESCRIPTION
Samsung has come a long way to providing an alternate photographic result for promoted photographers.Besides minor outside differences and menu interface, a non- distinguishing eye may not be able to tell the difference between Samsung's GX-20 and the Pentax K20D.Most of the differences are purely cosmetic such as the different shaped buttons and mildly different body styling. The GX20 has a slightly boxier approach to its design but that's not to say it's undesirable.This is because both models are based on almost the same body that the two companies co-developed.The weight of the GX20 unmistakably feels like a professional digital SLR body heavy. Tipping the scales at 808 grams after we put in the battery and SD card, we wondered how we were going to lug this 14.6-megapixel camera around on a full day's shoot. This is probably due to the solid build of the camera, which has a very comfortable hand grip.The rear of the camera houses a nice 2.7-inch LCD.

FEATURES
In my sentiment, the menu isn't the most sympathetic I've come across. It's a relatively easy one to use with only a few meanings that you may not have heard of such as e-dials, which are the finger and thumb wheels that you use to adjust the shutter and aperture but they can also be designated other tasks. E-dials may be a term that you've heard a lot and have no problem with but in my experience, if I've not heard of it, then 1000 other people haven't either. The layout is the problem as I think it's a bit too cluttered. The controls can take some getting used to such as pressing right to enter the folder of options from the tabs down the left side and you also press right to enter an option but you can't press left to get back out.
