And even though PC World says that camera is available for $1099 I can't find it in stock at a NZ supplier. :groan:

879971 2010-04-30 00:39:00 According to PC World NZ homepage they have never tested a Samsung NX 10. Only a L100 and a S760. Must be another PC World who tested it.

879972 2010-04-30 02:16:00 Well according to this issue of NZ PC World the camera was reviewed by Harley Ogier.

He seems to be the reviews editor.

Now I presume because his name is at the end of the review that he actually reviewed it and didn't just take a review done by somebody else and attach his name to it. Perhaps my assumption is incorrect.

In any case - the only place I can find that sells it is Expert Infotech

www.einfo.co.nz

www.einfo.co.nz

and neither of these two which are parallel imports are near the $1099 price mentioned in the article.

Would be interesting to have a play with this camera and compare it to my Canon DSLR.

879974 2010-04-30 04:36:00 Samsung NX10 scored a 10/10 in PC World .

Smaller and lighter than a true DSLR so a lot easier to cart around on holiday .

I have a Canon 30D and it has been a good workhorse .

The 20D, 30D, 40D etc for Canons is a workhorse . If you are into photog or if you are using for your job . It is a sweetspot between the entry and the high end cams .

The cheaper ones tend to be smaller, lighter, same quality, less speed, less build (strength) and they have 2 scroll dials so you don't need to keep pressing a "shift button" .

Same for the Nikons .
A workforce for them would be the D90 .

If you are wanting to access loads of optional parts, 2nd hand items etc etc . . overseas markets, eBay, Trademe etc . Stick to Canon and Nikon .

879975 2010-04-30 04:43:00 I would have to suggest sticking with Nikon or Canon. Both produce in there own right very good DSLR's from entry to high end. Don't know about the Canons as we don't use them but much of the Nikon range is backward compatible to various degree's between models so you can get some good bargins on second hand gear and still be compatible with newer model bodies.

By the way, one of NZ's greatest photographers, Peter Bush, only ever took an Olympus mu on holiday!
