Due to ship in March overseas the sleek looking camera is expected in Australia later this year. The 14-megapixel GX-20 is geared toward a more advanced user, a new market for Samsung, pitting it against Nikon and Pentax, among others, for the enthusiast dollar.
The GX-20 uses the same Samsung-developed CMOS sensor found in Pentax's new K20D. The two firms partnered in 2005 for digital SLR development.

The sensor can snap14-bit RAW images and can achieve a maximum ISO of 6,400. RAW images can be converted to JPEG files in-camera and the GX-20 sports a dedicated RAW shooting button.
The imager can also vibrate to dislodge dust.
