The Norwegian supplier of Samsung digital cameras, among other things, has some great news to share besides the various new compact camera models; a new digital Samsung DSLR. The new Samsung GX-20 has not officially been launched yet, but according to the information of Aronsen, importer and supplier of Samsung and other brands, the Samsung GX20 is expected to occupy the shop-shelves in March. The Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2008 has only just ended but we are already preparing for the PMA show coming up also in Las Vegas. The official Samsung GX-20 Digital SLR introduction is likely to take place just before the start of this show. For now we have to settle for some scarce data.

Samsung GX-20 DSLR - Live View
Unofficial information reveals that the new Samsung GX20 digital SLR camera offers Live View; a function that is becoming more and more popular these days. DSLR manufacturers seem to have quickly adopted Live View from out of the blue and it looks like it is a must for every manufacturer to equip a new DSLR with Live View. Live View mode is offered through the 2.7 inch monitor on the back of the camera. We'll have to be patient a little while longer before being able to get all the details of Live View on the Samsung GX20 but undoubtedly more information will be given soon.

Samsung GX-20 DSLR - Expectations and Order
The introduction of the Samsung GX-20 is not completely unexpected; it is more or less obvious Samsung would come out with a new DSLR. Still, we keep hearing rumours about Samsung being a 'sleeping giant' and once awake could change the order in the DSLR market completely. So far nothing has happened to prove that but with the little information about the new Samsung GX-20 we received today, Samsung are taking their chance to connect to the dominating DSLR brands on today's DSLR market.

PMA 2009 - The digital SLR camera market is booming. Compared to last year the DSLR camera sales increased with impressive numbers and it seems the digital SLR camera has become a mass consumer product. New entry level D-SLR cameras with 6 Megapixels surprisingly were welcomed very well by the amateur photographer and it seems that within this segment of the digital camera market the resolution range of 6 - 10 Megapixel fulfils the need of the amateur photographer. Without lenses the digital SLR camera would not be complete and it is for that reason we see a huge number of digital SLR lens introductions appear this year. There are multiple camera manufacturers offering their best own brand solution for its DSLR camera, but there are even more specialized lens manufacturers who offer an impressive number of lens solutions too. Keep your eye on the digital SLR lens section of this PMA 2009 report for the latest introductions!
