Best Value Digital SLR Under $1000

Pmperry from Tampa, FL

I first had the chance to checkout the GX-10 at a local store and I was very impressed with the Build Quality of the Body and Feature Set that this product presented (Personally I feel that this body has enough features to keep any Amatuer, enthusiast or Professional happy for a long time to come.) Let me just say that if you want specs read the product description because I'm basically putting the features that I like and Dislike in the review... One of my favorite features is of course the ability to use older lenses such as the Rikenon XR or Pentax Super-Takumar or SMC lenses. Not only do I get great glass but I get it at bargain prices and there are quite a few deals out there considering the sharpness of the glass. Another feature / added Benefit to this camera is the OIS (Shake Reduction System or Optical Image Stabilization) which allows the camera to compensate for movement regardless of the lens I'm using. This is a big benefit to anyone that needs to shoot with s … Read more

A bit heavy but all the tricks and solid

BobinJax from FLA USA

GX-10 is a great camera for outdoor,(a bit heavier than others, but for me that equals steadier), were the weather may get you wet, dusty, or sandy. Any lens you attach get IS. Pentax mount, lots of used lenses to play with. Controlls are easy to access with big hands, menu is very logical. I love cameras and computers, I think I'll be very, very happy with the GX-10.

The Optimal Choice

Samsung GX-10 is a very good budget DSLR camera that is almost identical to Pentax K10D but costs less. In fact, the lenses (as I've heard) are manufactured at a Pentax plant but are labelled with a Samsung logo. I paid the same amount of money for a double-kit GX-10 that a single-lense K10D would cost. What you get is a fully-functional (sometimes, even more than more expensive and popular cameras), solidly-built, versatile camera that comes in a dust-water-resistant body and can take any Pentax/Samsung lenses as well. The weight, they say, might also be considered a plus. The only minus I can find now is that the shutter sometimes locks at close-ups. Read more

Aimee from Seattle, WA

I got my GX-10 about a month ago and I am very pleased with it overall. It has solid construction, feels tough and durable. Easy to learn to use and great image stabilization. Like that it uses battery pack and not separate batteries that you have to buy over and over. Kit lens is good quality and the battery lasts a very long time IMO. Wonderful features and great image quality. A tad noise at ISO 400 or above, but acceptable up to 800. Fun camera in general. You won't be disappointed. Read more

Excellent camera for entry level price

Excellent camera for entry level price

AK from Chandler, AZ

I came from using a full-manual Pentax K1000 and have always been disappointed with P&S cameras. This gives me back all the control and a whole lot more! The only thing that bothers me so far is the requirement to use noise reduction when taking night shots. There are far too many hot pixels to disable the noise reduction for astrophotography or light trails. With the noise reduction on, the pictures are nearly flawless however. Read more
