Here's a site that shows it's ISO capabilities.

It's in Korean but you can easily see the noise tests

Hi, new here so be gentle

I've been thinking about getting the k10D for a while now (will be my first DSLR camera) but have found a deal in my wifes GUS catalogue that if it includes the lens, will probably persuade me to go for the Samsung GX20.

Part or me thinks that as it's my first SLR it might be over kill but another part of me wants something that's going to last me a good few years feature wise. To be honest as low as 6MP would do me 99% of the time but I like the high ISO (and have seen some good pics at 1600) as a lot of my photography seems to take place in low light situations.

After my wifes 12.5% cash back, I can get the GX20 for £655 interest free over a year http://www.greatuniversal.com/rf/gus/navigation/product.do?categoryId=7077897&productPos=1&catno=PS30112&groupId=474384588

Which is only around £150 - £200 more than I can get the K10D for (from the likes of warehouse express etc).

I've just got to convince myself it's worth the extra money.
