Suposedly the Samsung GX-10 and Pentax K10D are exactly the same camera. Samsung offers the camera with two lenses, saving about $200 or more. I am surmising that they have agreed that Pentax concentrates on camera stores and Samsung gets the mass merchandisers. All reports are that the cameras and lenses are identical.

If the cameras are as well received in the next couple of weeks as the anticipation, I wouldn't expect prices to drop very quickly. I visited a reasonably good-sized camera shop in WestLos Angeles on Monday. They said that they had received the K10D on Friday (think they said 10 of them) and they were all sold by Monday. They didn't anticipate having one long enough to put on display anytime soon.
