Hi all and merry Christmas!
Looking at upgrading to a simple entry level DSLR, for general everyday stuff, so just an entry level newbie Dslr will be perfect. I have founda Samsung GX-1S twin lens kit for very cheap money, just wanted to know what the difference is between the 1S and the 1L. All I've managed to find is the 1S has a Pentaprism the 1L has a Pentamirror. Does anybody know if there is anything else thats different? Ian |

There's a difference in the number of autofocus points (1S has more), if that's important to you. I used to remember the other differences between the 1S and the 1L, but don't any more. They both have the same sensor and I thought the pictures were the same quality from what I saw. I know I had the Pentax DS and loved it- the 1S is a re-badged Pentax DS2 (has a bigger LCD on the back than the DS I had), while the 1L is a re-badged Pentax DL. Both cameras take excellent pictures.

Managed to get onto the Samsung web site and have now compared both specs.
The ONLY differences that are on the spec sheets are:- GX-1S 1. Pentaprism 95% field of view; 0.95x magnification (50mm F1.4 Lens) 2. NO scene modes. 3. 505g weight. 4. 11 points wide AF focusing GX-1L 1. Pentamirror 96% field of view; 0.85x magnification (lens as above) 2. 8 scene modes for kids, text, night scene, candle light etc, etc. 3. 470g weight. 4.5 points wide AF focusing Not really much of a difference is there? For the price I can get the 1S for, losing the scene modes is nothing. Ian |
