"very good" (5 out of 6 stars) Value for money: 5 out of 5 stars
Now looking a little long in the tooth, the GX10 still manages to pack in some of the biggest features of the moment, including a special burst mode for creating HDR images and sensor-based image stabilisation. It is however, a hefty camera and PC Pro suggests only considering it if the 1kg weight doesn't faze you.

"Good performance" (4 out of 5 stars) Value for money: 4 out of 5 stars
Featuring the same impressive build quality and weather-proof body as the Pentax camera, the GX-10 also features support for the same KAF mount lenses. This, coupled with the in-camera anti-shake system, gives you a large number off compatible lenses and accessories to choose from. Button layout was intuitive and easy to get to grips with and Digital Photo felt that it offered superb build quality for the price.

"While the build quality, controls and level of detail offered by the GX10, MacUser wasn't all too impressed by the camera's overall performance. Images appeared slightly muddy, with colours being toned down and losing punch, while the focusing system was rather too noisy compared to some other models on test."

"... supported by Pentax’s massive system of accessories and lenses provides great results and super build and should be high on the list of those wanting an advanced comprehensively specified DSLR on a budget."

"Very Good" (7,7 out of 10 points)
"Despite a great feature set for the price, pro-level customisation and excellent photo quality, we can't think of a single reason to buy the Samsung GX-10 over its Pentax-made twin, the K10D."

"Good performance" (4 out of 5 stars) Value for money: 4 out of 5 stars
"The GX-10 mirrors the K10D's performance ... with exactly the same times for write speeds and buffer capacity. The AF performance is also identical, and the only complaint is the noise form the lens during AF operation ..."
