Samsung GX-20 product review teaser

Samsung is an interesting company, whose ambition, historically, has been matched only by its achievements. On a recent trip to South Korea, I counted one out of every three or four cars and lorries that I saw on the road carrying a Samsung emblem.

Although a relative newcomer to the DSLR market (Samsung's first DSLR, the GX-1L, was released in 2006), you can be sure that the ambitious Korean company is going to fight tooth and nail to become one of the biggest names in the business.
