As part of Samsung's foray into the DSLR market, the GX-20 offers a range of features and technologies designed to enhance the photography experience.

At the core of the GX-20 lies its 14.6-megapixel APS-C size CCD sensor, which provides high-resolution images with excellent detail and clarity. This sensor allows for a wide ISO range, from 100 to 6400, giving photographers the flexibility to capture images in various lighting conditions without sacrificing image quality.

One of the standout features of the GX-20 is its dual image stabilization system, which employs both sensor-shift technology and optical lens stabilization. This combination helps reduce the impact of camera shake, allowing for sharper images, especially in low-light environments or when using telephoto lenses.

The camera's design is both ergonomic and sturdy, featuring a weather-sealed body that ensures durability when shooting in challenging weather conditions.
