Samsung’s NX20 is a newly released mirrorless camera featuring an APS-C-sized 20.3 megapixel CMOS sensor with a DSLR form factor. This camera comes bundled with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, which is equivalent to a 27-82.5mm lens in 35mm format. Like many of Samsung’s lenses, this kit lens features i-Function control, which enables you to manipulate camera functions simply by twisting the lens while allowing you to keep your eye on the subject.
Other features integrated into the NX20 are a bright electronic viewfinder for eye-level monitoring, an articulating 3” AMOLED monitor for larger, multi-angled viewing, and built-in Wi-Fi functionality for sharing images directly from your camera. Additionally, this camera supports full HD video recording at 1080p, continuous shooting at up to 8 frames-per-second, and a wide variety of creative functions to enhance your imagery directly in-camera. This camera is well-situated between consumer and professional-grade cameras and offers both the simplicity of the former with the robust performance of the latter.

Well done video, rather useless review. I expect better from bhphoto. It sounds more like an advertisement/spec sheet rather than a hands on review.
Selling my D300s for a Lighter camera system like samsung nx series.
