The K10D seems to be fairly well regarded, so I would imagine that this upgrade will be a good camera. Beyond that, I haven't a clue. -dms |

Aren't they basically the same camera, with some cosmetic differences? Not sure about that. There are apparently some differences in the user interface and perhaps the internal electronics and software is also different. The live preview on the K20D seems to be very basic (no histogram displayed for instance). -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 8080, E3X0, E4X0, E5X0 and E3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

... ... and nobody talks about them. Which is better - the Samsung GX-20 or the Pentax K20D ? Probably too close to each other to really say. The two real differences I saw in the K10D and GX10 was that the Samsung RAW files are DNG. I don't use the camera nor have I used DNG files so I don't know if that's an advantage or disadvantage. The other is the better warranty on he Samsung - 4 years. That might be enough to sway someone over to the Samsung braded camera if they continue with this length of warranty period. |

DNG is a disadvantage with some RAW converters, for instance the Adobe one, because the settings are stored inside the DNG file, so every time you make some changes to the settings you are forced to backup a multi- megabyte file instead of a small settings file. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 8080, E3X0, E4X0, E5X0 and E3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

There is no way to set it up to store the settings in the sidecar files. Also, when opening a DNG file, the Adobe converter will ignore sidecar files. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 8080, E3X0, E4X0, E5X0 and E3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |
