Top Samsung GX-1S Camera Reviews
ephotozine wrote a review of the
Samsung GX-1S
and said: "The Samsung produces a much more contrasty image than
the Olympus with plenty of detail right to the edges of the
frame. Although the eight megapixel image produced by the
Olympus is physically larger, it does not display much more
detail than that produced by the six megapixel sensor in the
Samsung. I was less impressed by the level of noise produced at
high ISO settings. It is certainly not class leading
performance, although images taken at these settings are still
very usable."
Samsung GX-1S News Release Summary:
Orlando, FL (February 26, 2006) - Samsung Camera has entered the
DSLR market with the Samsung GX-1S, a six megapixel model
featuring world renowned Schneider optics and a high-resolution

jointly with partner Pentax Corporation.
"Through this partnership, and the GX-1S introduction, we have
an opportunity to make an immediate impact in the DSLR space and
dramatically expand the range of options available to consumers

Marketing Manager at Samsung Camera. "The GX-1S includes
features that the consumer has demanded in the competitive
digital camera market including a large, 2.5-inch LCD and the
ability to interchangeably use Schneider and Pentax lenses for

For outstanding image quality, the GX-1S features

digital still camera models, and the GX-1S is no exception. The
