I've also go the GX-1S and my main concern with the GX10 is firmware updates ... the new firmware for the K10D is significant however Samsung have not released the SDHC updates for the GX-1S ... Personally I'd wait and see if they update the GX10 firmware before spending the money.

the VW sharan holds its value and go for about £1000~£1500 more than the Ford Galaxy but then the Seat alhamba sells for about £1000 dearer than the Ford and £500 less the the VW
all three are the same vehicals with diffent badges but under the skin all the same
however knowing camera manufactures the to will have different pin locations on the flash and the lenses wont work the pins will be different
Not in this case ... Samsung TechWin have a stake in Pentax and the GX-1S GX-1L and GX10 are rebadged versions of Pentax models as are the flashes and lenses. There is still an amount of debate as to wether the Samsung lenses are SMC coated but since they are made in the same factory it would be fairly safe to assume that they are since having a seperate line for the Samsung lenses where they are not coated would cost Pentax more.the VW sharan holds its value and go for about £1000~£1500 more than the Ford Galaxy but then the Seat alhamba sells for about £1000 dearer than the Ford and £500 less the the VW

And the price difference is even more than you may think... I got the GX-1S twin lens kit for 399.
Jessops are listing the following :
K10D with 18-55mm lens ... 849.99 inc Vat listed as "coming soon"
GX10 with 18-55mm lens ... 599.99 inc Vat listed as "2-4 weeks"
GX10 with 18-55 and 50-200mm lenses ... 699.99 inc Vat listed as "2-4 weeks"
Sorry I'd rather have £250, in my pocket that the Pentax badge on my camera.
