Samsung GX-1S review, find out how the GX-1S stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
This new camera may be a sheep in sheep's clothing
A competitively priced DSLR with all of the controls needed by amateur photographers.Samsung's first DSLR camera, the GX-1S, reflects its mixed ancestry in a body that appears almost identical to Pentax *ist DS2, and has remarkably similar specifications. Although compatible with most Pentax KAF mount lenses, the GX-1S is being supplied with a Schneider Kreuznach D-Xenon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, which has been specially developed for the new camera. Its light weight (225 g) is a comfortable match for the camera body, but rather a snug fit on the camera body. It comes with a clip-on lens hood.
Samsung GX-1S is a 6.0MP Advanced DSLR camera with a APS-C sized CCD sensor and Pentax KAF mount. Read our GX-1S review to find its pros and cons.
