Samsung GX10

Hi guys... am I right in suspecting that the Samsung GX10 is quite similar to the K10D? I've not seen one up close... are they any good, they're a lot cheaper than the K10D?

No, you would be wrong in suspecting it is quite similar.

You would be right in suspecting it is very similar!

Would it be, by any chance.... exactly the same?

Mechanically and electronically, yes (almost certainly).

The differences are in the firmware (the camera's built-in operating system/user interface) and cosmetic differences on the outside. These differences are not thought to be very significant.

There may also be some support differences. The firmware tends to be updated less frequently, for example.

Finally, the name Samsung has rather less cachet in photographic circles, which might contribute to the camera losing value more quickly on the second-hand market.

I wasn't thinking of buying one... I love the Pentax brand... The name Samsung just doesn't seem to conjure the same magic somehow does it?

Nail, head, duly struck!
