GX10 arrived this morning!

[Pirahna]

The camera arrived from Argos this morning exactly as promised. Unfortunately, the SD cards I ordered from another place won't be here until tomorrow.

I've borrowed a small SD card from a mate's camera, but have only had time for a little play to make sure everything's working OK. With the hours I'm working at the moment, I probably won't be able to post any shots until later in the week.

First Impressions : I'm appalled ... what am I going to blame now for any poor shots I take!!! The camera focus is virtually immediate and accurate with the kit lenses, although I haven't tried the black cat in a dark room test yet. The level of detail captured is amazing and the SR system rocks.

I've tried a few shots at 1600 iso indoors and outside. I haven't been able to look at them on a monitor yet, but if I can believe the camera LCD zoomed in at 20x, then the noise control is fantastic. My last camera was a Sony-717 and this Samsung at 1600 seems as good or better than the Sony at 200!

It'll take me a little while to get used to it, but I'm sure I'm gonna love this camera!

I'll post examples when I can.

All the best

Did you get the Schneider kit lens with it? I'd like to see some shots (of anything) and see how they compare with the Pentax kit lens in a camera of the same (supposedly) type.

Still happy with the K10d (in spite of the pixel peepers)

Yep, it came with both Schneider lenses - 18-55 and 50-200. I'll post some shots when I can. Was there one of them you were particularly interested in.

Look forward to your first pics, i always thought it would be a good camera all the best Alan.

Either or both would be fine. Whatever moves you.. I'm a classic film large and medium format camera fan and have always found the Schneider lenses some of the best ever made. Nice and contrasty and razor sharp! I want to see if they perform equally well on a digital.
