Samsung GX-1S review at LetsGoDigital

LetsGoDigital reviewed Samsung GX-1S - the clone of Pentax *istDS2. Camera rated 74% “Recommended” with the highest mark for design.

The supplied kit lens, the Schneider Kreuznach D-Xenon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 performs very well indeed. Not only do its looks resemble that of the Pentax one, the results also prove identical, something that makes me suspect this lens too has merely been equipped with a different nametag. The lens requires you to use the aperture quite heavily in order to get rid of the corner shading. Moreover, the wide-angle mode shows a fair amount of purple fringing. Still, this lens does not leave much room for complaint.
