  Samsung GX-1S
  By Philip Ryan
  
  Review summary: Proving that a Pentax by another name does shoot as sweet, Samsung's *ist DS2 clone, the GX-1S, provides the same mix of picture quality, small size (for a dSLR), and ease of use that we saw in the Pentax-branded version. Beginners will appreciate its ...

  Samsung GX-1S
  By Margaret Brown
  
  Review summary: Samsungâ€™s first DSLR camera, the GX-1S, reflects its mixed ancestry in a body that appears almost identical to Pentax *ist DS2, and has remarkably similar specifications. Although compatible with most Pentax KAF mount lenses, the GX-1S is being ...
  
  Verdict: Autofocusing was fast, accurate and flexible and the test camera turned in images that were sharp, bright and punchy. The AE system tended to underexpose by between half and two thirds of a stop in bright conditions, even with spot metering. We ...

  Samsung GX-1L First Impressions Review
  By Patrick Singleton
  
  Review summary: Samsung has hit the DSLR market with the entry level GX-1L. It's a 6.1 megapixel camera that's compatible with the Pentax KAF lens mount, and it's a dead ringer for the Pentax *ist DL2. Staff demonstrating the camera at Samsung's PMA booth said that ...
  
  Pros: - Solid construction - Small size - ISO 3200 setting - Picture effects preserve the original image
  
  Cons: - Autofocus is slow - No white balance fine-tuning or Kelvin setting - Burst rate is slow, and number of burst shots is limited - Handgrip is uncomfortable for some people and positions
  
  Verdict: We think the GX-1L is a respectable entry level option. We say that mainly because it seems to be a Pentax, which is a good thing for a few reasons. First, it shares Pentax's durable construction, simple interface and other positive qualities. Second, ...
