Samsung has announced a new Digital SLR model GX-20 to replace the GX-10. The new Gx-20 is not only using the same 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor on the new Pentax DSLR K20D, they almost share the same body design. This is their first co-joined CMOS sensor product, which happens to be their top of the line unit as well. The Key differences over previous model include the Live View, X-sync terminal flash mount, better body sealing, larger 2.7” LCD monitor and three ways Optical Image Stabilization.

The body uses a high impact plastic with metal sub-structure. It’s also dust-proof and water-resistant; Samsung says they put as much as 72 sealing points thought out the whole body. The imaging sensor uses an anti-static coating, together with a sensor-shake dust reduction system to keep the evil dust spot off your image.

The continuous shooting mode is capable of 3fps with optional up to 9fps but Samsung has not disclosed further information on buffer rate. It runs on lithium-ion battery and supports SD/ MMC/SDHC media storage. The GX-20 will be released in March for $1399.
