That actually looks like the Pentax version of the grip. The Samsung grip is completely flat on the top...
I think you are right, I've just read neutral feedback left from a buyer,

"The Part does not fit the Samsung GX10 Camera, The part is for the Pentax K10D"

Thank you all for the replies.

I asked the seller a few questions about the grip and this is the reply I had today,

" Dear Customer,
Thank you for your inquiries.
sorry to tell you we haven't got this model in stock... "

I checked on Ebay earlier and the listings are still current, I'm going to give it a miss.

Regards, Chris.

Hi all,

I've been looking at this on ebay for my GX-10. Has anyone from the forum bought one?

It seems a bit to cheap to me.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if my Samsung SEF-36PZF flash gun will work with my Pentax K-7.

I've not tried it yet just in case I end up damaging something.

Regards, Chris.

Hi,

I bought a battery grip and spare battery for my K-7 today. I've read both manuals but I'm still slightly confused (which isn't hard lol)

The battery selection option is set to the default 'Auto Select' which is priority is given to the battery with the most remaining power.

The manual says that when the currently selected battery runs out I turn the camera off then on again and the camera will switch to the remaining battery.

I know I don't need to turn the grip on until I want to shoot in portrait.

My (probably daft) question is, once one battery has run out and I have switched the camera on and off do I also need to turn the grip on or does the camera just use the power from the grip battery if the camera battery runs out first.

Regards, Chris.
