What we?re looking at here is a cracking DSLR ? the Samsung GX10 redefines what we should expect at this price point. If you think ?Nikon D200 at a D80 price? you won?t go far wrong. Samsung is now a ?class leader? and certainly not the ?also-ran? it had risked becoming.

The key to getting the best from the GX-10 lies in how much work you are willing to put into your photography. If you want to shoot Raw, have a basic understanding of exposure metering and white balance then you won?t go wrong, but if you just want to point and shoot you?ll be better served elsewhere.
