Ok, you need to look past the brand names all you Canikon peeps. I have shot with SLRs for over 30 years. I tried these two side by side and bought the Samsung. It has lots of control, way more than entry level Canikons. It is possible to customise the front and rear scroll wheels to change ISO, F. stop, Shutter speed and the exposure comp is on its own button at the back. It only under exposes by about half a stop under certain metering conditions and settings and you can easily set up 1/2 stop.
The general concencus seems to be that unless your shelling 2. 5-3K for a Canikon, Pentax is your better bet vs. the lower end Canikons. There’s quite a few articles saying the K-7 has more latiitude and detail vs. a 7D
I know, there’s no escape or rescue from this. . . Actually, when you’re buying a Sony LCD TV, you are most likely bying a Samsuing made LCD panel, because Samsung is the largest LCD panel producer in the world. On the other hand, on the used market you can get some great deals. For instance, I bought this Yamaha DX7 synthesizer for $250 in mint condition, and it made of metal, and it says “Made in Japan” on it, and it’s beautifully executed. Same with lenses, I got 300mm f/4. 5 OM lens used.
Doesn’t matter whether you buy a samsung product or not, in the end your going to be buying a product with some or all of it’s internal components made by samsung.
The 20D
I don’t understand how could anyone buy a Samsung product, never mind a Samsung digital camera? Samsung prices are almost as high as Japanese products these days. I like Pentax, it’s such a shame that they colaborate with Samsung. . .
Which camera is better regarding image quality - Pentax K20D or Canon 40D?
the Samsung have nicer menu than Pentax, this is the main difference
the Pentax have a burst mode (unnecessary, this is a primitive video), and a D-Range function
and the portrait-catcher(?) of the Pentax doesn’t fit to Samsung
On my K10D, and I change my ISO in the function menu, and click “okay” it takes me right back to the function menu, unlike what you said that only the Samsung does that. . .
will pentax DA lenses fit on the samsung? are the samsung lenses weather proof like the DA lenses? does the samsung underexpose like the pentax? does the samsung have something like pentax’s my menu? is the samsung made in korea and the pentax in japan?
samsung 18-55mm
Please tell me the model of the Samsung DSLR GX-20’s lens used in this video.
Yes they all will.
will the pentax lense fit the samsung because pentax they have some great ones
I have the GX20 and it is excellent - price decided it for me. But as they say either is a great camera. ISO is easily changed from the front dial - no need to go into menus. Makes you wonder: did they review it (ie use it) or just read the spec sheets. . .
Pentax have 21pics/sec (in low resolution.
Yes Samsung~~~ 89%!!
WhatDigitalCamera is the BEST man!
no need to look so enthusiastic
HOLD OK BUTTON AND ROLL FRONT ROLLER, this is the way how to quickly and easilly change ISO. . !
