I want to purchase a flash for the Samsung GX20 and wanted to know if the Pentax AF540FGZ will work? I think I saw on Amazon it said it is compatible with both Pentax and Samsung DSLRs.

Also, does the K200D and GX20 have wireless flash capabilities? In other words can I hand hold the 540fgz and fire the flash wirelessly with the camera? If not, do they make an off-camera shoe cord?

Thank you!

The answer to all your questions is yes. Actually I'm not sure if the K200D supports wireless flash....but the GX20 should.

What exactly is meant by "wireless flash" anyway?

You can trigger one or more flashes by using one as a master. For example, you use the on camera flash to trigger a couple of 540 units you've placed on stands with diffuser umbrellas/reflectors.
