Samsung GX 20

The most notable quality of the Samsung GX-20 is its unpretentiousness. It is a smart, well-designed, functional DSLR that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is. Having said that, it doesn’t need to. The GX-20 looks like a professional DSLR should: it has fairly typical button and dial controls in the all of the appropriate places making it both ergonomically functional and user-friendly.

Excellent image quality, robust built and weather tight. All my Kaf, Ka, K and even screw mount (with adapter) lenses can be used. I've only bought the body and a vertical grip. It is interesting to mount and use my numerous Pentax and Carl Zeiss Jena lenses with the new body. I may go outing with the new body, my Pentax PZ1 film camera, one set of lenses and compare the result of photographs taken with film and electronic sensor.
