Top Samsung GX-1L Camera Reviews
Steve's Digicams wrote a review of the
Samsung GX-1L
and said: "Shooting performance is typical for an entry-level
dSLR. From power-on till the first image was captured measured 1
second, while waking it from sleep mode took only 8/10 second.
Shutter lag, the delay between depressing the shutter and
capturing the image, was 1/10 second when pre-focused, and
between 2/10 and 8/10 second including autofocus time for a
high-contrast subject, depending on the degree of focus change.
Shot-to-shot delay averaged about 4/10 second without flash; use
of the internal flash extended shot-shot delay to between 1 and
4.5 seconds, depending on subject distance. Use of Red-eye
reduction flash mode extended shutter lag by about 1/2 second."
