Samsung GX-20Finally the long awaited release of Samsung’s GX-20 DSLR to the UK is G for Go!

As we’ve known for a while, the DSLR is a 14.6-megapixel snapper with a 2.7-inch live view LCD; it has RAW and JPEG modes, sensor-based image stabilization, and ISO settings up to 3200, as well as some other equally impressive specs.

What’s new this time around is the all-important price which stands at £699 and some of the finer details, including word of two new lenses for the camera.  What’s more, as Digital Photography Review points out, this announcement also confirms that the GX-20 is, in fact, essentially the same camera that Pentax has just-announced in the form of their K20D - the slight differeneces being with the Samsung boasting only a few minor cosmetic changes and, according the company, its own JPEG processing.

Canon BirthdayIs it already 20 years?! Canon shipped the first film-based EOS 650 AF SLR in 1987, and although the industry has undergone some huge changes since then, the EOS line remains as strong as ever.

Canon announced today that it has now shipped over 30 million EOS cameras, and over 10 million digital EOS units since their launch in 2000 with the EOS D30. With models such as the XTi / 400D selling really strongly it seems that the brand is going to be here for a while.

Well done Canon and many happy returns EOS
