Samsung GX-30 VERY SOON

If it is going to be a full frame, oh boy is it going to be devastating for K-7 sales. This can become very nasty and entertaining! Samsung vs. Pentax, a slug fest!!!

I don't know if you are right... if you've invested in non FF lenses as many of us have, it is no replacement for a K7, it would almost be like an additional system.

Second thought. Maybe not. The price differences will probably be too much, and full framer will be directed against a different segment of the market.

[sigh] do you guys read other people's posting/replies before posting yours?
The picture was the NX, an EVIL, not a DSLR, and it was APS-C and

NOT FULL FRAME!

If that's the Samsung NX's viewfinder it looks huge, though. I'm interested in how it turns out either way.

That finder isn't huge. The second image is distorted (vertical exaggregation); look at the dial; it is taller in the second image....:ugh:

Anyways whats due to marketplace first, the 2010 NX or the GX-30 ?

Maybe ogl will supply link to his two gx-30/nx images he started the thread with. I could not goggle them up, I already tried

If GX-30 is a sister model of K-7, it should be announced soon.
But if it is, as ogl claimed, a lesser model, likely a sister model of K200D replacement, then it would probably be announced around the same time as the Pentax K200D replacement, i.e. around fall.

Samsungian · 06-11-2009, 10:29 AM

OK fine I see what you're saying

There are a lot of rumors about announcement of GX-30 on July, 7.

I think it could be camera in body of GX-20 with new developed sensor for K-7 (5.2 fps and videо) with less features.

offtop...about NX - NOT GX-30
interesting info - look at the picture - f/1.2 of Samsung NX

Fine, I was wrong. And for the record, I'm glad that I was haha.

Still, let it be said that the new Samsung products are intriguing. They have a lot of ground to cover in order to compete.

going to be interesting to see what lenses will be available for the nx and who will make them

amilcaralzaga · 06-11-2009, 02:01 PM

Has anyone seen the DXO reviews of the sensors? The panasonic versions always get higher grades than the pentax ones... Why??? Could it be that samsung is giving pentax somewhat "cripled" sensors? Remember those reviews are taken straight to the sensors with no lens taken on account...

I think you mean Samsung, not Panasonic

Samsung probably puts more work into their firmware, which is different from Pentaxes.
