Overview — Samsung GX-20

The Samsung GX-20 is a 14MP APS-C DSLR built for enthusiast photographers who want a capable, well-constructed camera body. Its APS-C sensor delivers a maximum resolution of 4672x3104 pixels, and an ISO range of 100 to 3200 provides a solid baseline for shooting across a variety of lighting conditions. One of the GX-20's standout features is its in-body sensor-shift image stabilization (IBIS), which works with any compatible lens rather than relying on optically stabilized glass — a meaningful advantage given its Pentax K-mount compatibility, which opens the door to a wide range of lenses.

The body itself is constructed from magnesium alloy and carries a weather-sealed rating, making it a dependable choice for outdoor and field use. At 727g and measuring 142 x 101 x 71.5mm, it strikes a reasonable balance between robustness and portability. The 11-point wide-area phase-detection autofocus system handles focus duties, while a 3 fps burst mode supports continuous shooting scenarios.

A 2.7-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 pixels handles image review, and storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards. The hotshoe supports P-TTL flash, and a built-in flash is also present. USB connectivity is included for tethering and data transfer.
