Samsung Digimax GX-10 Digital SLR Camera

An inexpensive, consumer-level digital SLR, the GX-10 captures well-exposed images, but our test shots weren't very sharp.

Records RAW and JPEG images at once ; Can limit ISO range used in auto modes

Low marks for image sharpness ; Hard-to-use doors for media and battery

Other highlights include a flexible system for limiting the automatic ISO's top and bottom range; an extended automatic bracketing feature that lets you pick white balance, contrast, saturation, or sharpness as parameters (this is much more than what...

Samsung GX10

Can changing the name on a camera save you money? Yes, when you take the Pentax K10D and call it the Samsung GX-10 Digital SLR Camera. The former, with a 27-83mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens sells for $800, more or less, while the latter--virtually...

Samsung GX-10 review

Though not nearly as identical to the Pentax K10D as earlier models were to their Pentax twins, the Samsung GX-10 is similar enough to consider the same for review purposes. On the upside, that means this 10-megapixel digital SLR turns out to be a very...

Excellent photo quality; well-designed and solidly built body; premium features for its price class; nice kit lens.

Occasional autofocus hunting; Optical Picture Stabilization only buys you about a stop.

Despite a great feature set for the price, pro-level customization, and excellent photo quality, we can't think of a single reason to buy the Samsung GX-10 over its Pentax-made twin, the K10D.

Samsung GX-10 Digital Camera - First Shots - The Imaging Resource!

A rebranded equivalent to the Pentax K10D digital SLR with some restyling of buttons and the like, the Samsung GX-10 is based around an APS-C sized CCD imager with an effective resolution of 10.2 megapixels, a 22-bit A/D converter (output is 8-bit JPEG...

The GX-10 includes both a 2.5" LCD display with 210,000 pixels and a 140-degree horizontal / vertical viewing angle, as well as a pentaprism based TTL optical viewfinder with 96% field of view, 0.95x magnification, diopter adjustment from -2.5m-1 to...

Samsung GX-10 Digital SLR

Editor's Note: We take camera reviews here at Boot Daily very seriously and because of that, we think you'll find some of the best reviews anywhere on today's digital cameras. Jon Austin is one of the biggest technical camera nerds we know of, his...

What does all this mean? Taking the price, ergonomics, over-all image quality, and ease-of-use into consideration, if you are looking for an entry-level DSLR for less than a grand, I'd suggest you seriously consider the GX-10.
