The Pros:LCD is large and sharp, lets you see exactly what will be captured. Overall design is very easy to pick up and use. Shutter speed is very fast, great for fast-moving subjects.
The Cons:Can't do more than 3fps when shooting a series in sequence. No movie mode available.
Produced in association with Pentax, the Samsung GX-20 is essentially the Pentax K20D with some external styling and menu operation changes. At the time of its announcement in January 2008 theGX-20 led the megapixel race among dSLRs, although competitors were quick to release their own 14 megapixel models.

ISO settings range from 100-6400, with reviewers describing all settings below 800 as delivering very little image noise, and even ISO 6400 as "noisy but usable" (source). The LCD screen offers a digital live-view, allowing for framing of photos without using the pentaprism viewfinder. According to reviews, the file write time for the GX-20 is a noticeable improvement over its predecessor, the GX-10, and this change speeds up the shot-to-shot performance of the camera.
