Tweet

If you’re looking for some insight as to what the follow up to the Samsung GX-20, namely the Samsung GX-30 DSLR, (potentially) has to offer in terms of features and specifications these leaked details (which remain wholly unconfirmed) may, or may not, offer a tantalising glimpse as to what the GX-30 will bring to the table though, for the time being at least, Samsung are remaining extremely tight-lipped. Still, if the below details transpire to ring true there’s no doubt that the GX-30 is going to cause a considerable stir in the DSLR world.

Admittedly, the above details are a little chaotic in terms of order, but, if these specifications are indeed a true reflection as to what the Samsung GX-30 is set to offer there’s much to get excited about – with the use of an AMOLED display and inbuilt GPS functionality being two especially interesting features.

We await official word from Samsung before we get too excited but we would not be in the least surprised if the above is indeed wholly credible – in which case, as far as we’re concerned, Samsung have a potential winner on their hands.

I had better start saving (and being especially nice to her indoors) again.
