The Samsung NX20 includes Wi-Fi connectivity and can freeze action at 1/4000 sec. It features a 20.3MP APS-C CMOS (23.5×15.7 mm) sensor, a 7.6-cm (3.0-in.) swivel AMOLED display (614k-dot), and Full HD 1920x1080p Movie. A 18-55mm (27-84mm equiv.) F3.5-5.6 3.1x optical zoom kit lens with optical image stabilization is available.

With Built-in Wi-Fi capability, no cable is required to transfer your pictures from camera to PC; you can even automate the process with Auto Backup. You can also link to a Samsung smartphone and use the latter as a remote viewfinder. With Mobile Link, you can display images on devices such as tablets or internet-enabled TV.

Freeze action with a blazing fast 1/4000 sec. (mechanical shutter) or 1/8000 sec. (electronic shutter). Continuous Shooting at 8fps allows you to capture the right moment in an action sequence.

Frame your picture either on the electronic viewfinder or on the high resolution (614k-dot) swivel AMOLED display that lets you shoot from just about any angle.

Shoot video at Full HD 1920x1080p in stereo sound. For a truly cinematic experience, attach the optional 18 – 200 mm lens exclusively for Full HD video.

Other features advanced photographers will appreciate: RAW file support, PASM shooting modes, and a growing number of lenses and other accessories.

The Samsung NX20 is available in black, and is priced at about US $1099.99.
