    if 6 is good...

    10 has got to be better!

    I'm not sure why, but Upgraditis struck after I got my little Sammy.
    After countless hours checking prices on a K10,
    I found a killer deal on a GX10
    Lil Sammy, Say hello to Big Brother

    DHL lost my package for 2 days :mad2: but it finally arrived.
    So here it is fresh from the box
    Sammy 10 & 6 side by side...I'm stoked.

    Saw this ad in AmerPhoto & had a good laugh.

    "I know very little about the Samsungs"
    oh...I guess I should point out all Samsung DSLRs
    are in fact Pentax cameras with a Samsung badge.

    I bought the Samsung becasue it was a better deal.
    The GX-1S is the old Pentax *ist ds2
    GX10 is the same camera as the K10 (minor body changes)
    My GX10 was half the price of a K10
    the menu display is more subtle and not so colorful
    1 reviewer said the menu's font is smaller

    Re: if 6 is good...

    Congratulations on the new camera, Hollis!

    I can't remember who, but one of the pro photographers that does reviews had the K10D and the Samsung at the same time and said he liked the Samsung UI better. I really liked the K10D when we had it for review. It has a very nice feel and I love the built-in image stabilization and weatherproofing. So I'm sure the Samsung is great. The one thing I'd like to see is a JPEG comparison. Because Samsung tends to overprocess their images, in my experience. And I wonder if they toned it down for the DSLRs. Of course, you can just shoot RAW and it won't matter.

    Glad to see you hanging out here again :-)

    Congrats on your new camera!

    I recently bought my K10D on Amazon for $600 (including the $100 rebate). Was the Samsung less than that?

    This was the 1st weekend I got to see what it will do.
    1st photo, this subject was very patient with me
    (he only opened 1 eye to see what was going on).
    2nd photo was shot at ISO1600 (why I had it there, I have no clue)
