The digital SLR market is getting crowded with Samsung joining in the fray. The Korean company’s 6-megapixel GX1S DLSR is the company’s first attempt in the DSLR market, albeit with some help from Pentax. The generous 2.5” 210k pixel TFT color LCD screen powered by Pentaprism technology is a boon to any serious photograph enthusiast. It is relatively light at 0.5kg. Expect the Samsung GX-1S to begin shipping next month, although pricing details have not yet been released. (specs below) Via Mobile Whack Image Sensor
