A review of the Samsung GX-1S digital camera has been posted at DigitalCameraInfo.

The Samsung GX-1S is a 6 megapixel dSLR camera with a 2.5 inch LCD display. It supports both JPEG and RAW image formats and is compatible with Pentax lenses. With a predicted price of around $800, the small and leightweight Samsung GX-1S is aimed at the ambitioned photographer who seeks an affordable entry into the dSLR camera range.

The review conclusion:
“[…] At under $800, the 6-megapixel GX-1S does have a lot to offer consumers. With a bright 2.5-inch 210,000 pixel LCD, strong color reproduction, and reasonable noise handling, the GX-1S is poised to compete with entry-level DSLRs and compact ultra zoom models. The camera has some nice design features (mirror lockup connected to the self timer, depth-of-field preview formed around the shutter release, and spot metering linked to movable AF points), but sacrifices speed and autofocus in the process.

[…] For consumers considering purchasing an ultra zoom, the high sensitivity, expanded functionality, and customization available on the GX-1S might be worth sacrificing the longer fixed lens. However, those interested in buying their first DSLR and investing in an imaging system might be better off saving a little extra money and purchasing a slightly stronger model.”
