Have been offered a brand new Samsung GX20 with Samsung 16-45 lens for £550 does this seem a good deal? ]]> Samsung DSLR Forum chrism_scotland http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/samsung-dslr-forum/80911-gx20-16-45-a.html http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/samsung-dslr-forum/76626-new-samsung-nx-pictures-form-korea.html Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:13:57 GMT

The more I use this DSLR, them more I hate its colors and white balance.
Almost each shot with good saturated colors need postprocessing or shooting in RAW.
Making shots of yellow leafes in their last days I especially noticed that. GX20 keeps making something unsaturated yellow-green instead or saturated yellow with slight red tint. Changing lenses and playing with picture settings don't help much. Different white balance settings do not have much effect on this.
My TZ5 compact on its auto mode is able to get exact same colors as I see (yet my previous compact had similar to GX20 problems with yellow rendering, and of course, purple is also difficult).
I don't think this is similar problem for all GX20, but I want to see.
Famous Pentax underexposure is also here. But guys, it is only here because of expremely poor measuring system in our DSLR. Compact see at least 640x480 realtime picture that allow him to adjust colors and much better deterimate exposure.
Yes, I can get much better picture with DSLR with good lens and postprocessing, but if I took photos stright out of the camera used in simple mode with kit lenses (like 18-55 and 55-200mm) my TZ blows them out.
Phase-detect AF also means that for AF is something approximate. As I constantly ruin some Tokina 24mm photos due to AF misbehaviour (could say that you are focused right and miss by 10 meters :-) ) I did few test and on 1.5m target I get 0.3m AF variation :-) So, today I focus on long end and zoom out, as it is parafocal lens.
I am waiting for something without mirror but with large CCD sensor and HD viewfinder as my primary camera. And I really hope that Samsung could do it right and allow me to use my Pentax lenses.
DSLR is fine as secondary camera with good focusing screen and big fast lens. ]]> Samsung DSLR Forum tr13 http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/samsung-dslr-forum/76409-samsung-gx20-hate.html http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/samsung-dslr-forum/76251-samsung-licenses-apicals-iridix-ip-core-semiconductor-imaging-products.html Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:21:37 GMT NEWS! - Digital Cameras, Digital Imaging, Digital Photography, Digital Scanners (http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1255366392.html) NEWS! - Digital Cameras, Digital Imaging, Digital Photography, Digital Scanners ]]> Samsung DSLR Forum eigelb http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/samsung-dslr-forum/76251-samsung-licenses-apicals-iridix-ip-core-semiconductor-imaging-products.html
