21 September 2006, Seoul, Korea. Samsung today announced the launch of the 10.2 mega-pixel GX-10 digital SLR, the first DSLR from the company to be positioned firmly towards the discerning enthusiast photographer searching for comprehensive functions, stunning design, ease of use and real value for money - all in one camera. Samsung also announced the launch of five more lenses, that some of the lenses would be released before the end of 2006, giving GX-10 and GX-1 series users alike even more freedom to express their creativity through the Samsung DSLR range.
GX-10 - Intelligent design
The GX-10 boasts a 10.2 mega-pixel image sensor, which offers the photographer a sharper image, with richer colours for a truly compelling composition. Taking photos is made easier with the PentaPrism viewfinder with its high magnification (0.95x) to provide a clearer, wider field of view (95%) for optimum shooting. For unrivalled viewing of photos the GX-10 also comes complete with a wide view 2.5” TFT LCD (210k pixels). With its powerful built-in Optical Picture Stabilization (OPS) technology, the GX-10 prevents blurred pictures by shifting the CCD to counter any movement of the camera’s body. In addition, when a manual lens is used in ordinary digital SLR cameras, the camera’s shake prevention mechanism does not function properly since the camera does not have the lens information. In the GX-10, however, the manual lens information can be input so that film cameras’ manual lenses can also be used with the GX-10. (In some digital SLR, because the lens has the shake prevention functionality, the unsteady hands cannot be compensated for when manual lenses are used.)
The advanced design features of the GX-10 ensure it is robust enough for taking quality pictures in even wet, sandy or dusty conditions as the camera comes equipped with a special water-resistant and anti-dust sealing. The advanced dust removal function included in the GX-10 also removes potentially problematic dust from the CCD by vibrating it automatically when the camera is booted, resulting in perfect blemish-free pictures with minimum effort on the part of the photographer. A further dust barrier is provided by the special coating on the CCD’s protective window.
With the one-touch RAW button, built into the GX-10, RAW file shooting is made simple and instantly available to users even during general JPEG shooting. The RAW files can be checked on the LCD and then be directly converted to JPEG format via the built-in converter for convenience.
With the GX-10, continuous shooting at 3 fps (frames per second) is possible; RAW files can be shot at the same speed up to 9 frames; giving the user the best chance to get a great picture.
The GX-10 has been designed to let the photographer customize and take control of their camera with the My Set Dial option allowing you to personalise your dial settings by choosing your most frequently used functions for ultimate ease of use.
A comprehensive lens offering
Samsung also announced that five kinds of lenses will be launched soon. These lenses have been designed to enable real freedom in the creative process and include: fish eye lens (fish eye 10-17mm F3.5-F4.5 ED), an ultra wide zoom lens (12-24mm F4 ED AL), a wide zoom lens (16-45mm F4 ED AL), a fixed focus lens (35mm F2 AL) and a macro lens (Macro 100mm F2.8).
The lenses will also be compatible with the DSLRs launched by Samsung earlier in the year – the GX-1S and GX-1L which were aimed towards the serious amateur photographer. Samsung adds, “We will also expand professional lens line-up aggressively next year.
With the launch of the GX-10, digital SLR for professionals, after the introduction of the GX-1S and GX-1L for general-use digital SLR, Samsung has come to have a full digital camera line-up ranging from convergent compact digital cameras through high-end to luxurious digital SLR.
With the NV series (NV10, NV7ops & NV3) launched in September consistently growing in the market share of the compact line up. Samsung plans to capture the heart of photographers with the GX-10 as a springboard for a leap into digital SLR. Samsung also announced that it would meet the consumers’ needs by establishing a total digital SLR system by reinforcing the digital SLR accessories and after-sales service.
Samsung adds, “The GX-10 is a professional model far more upgraded than the previous GX series. The improved GUI (Graphic User Interface) for user’s convenience and cutting-edge functions are incorporated. The GX-10 has the optimum system as well as picture quality to satisfy users.”
Pricing and availability
The GX-10 and lenses are expected to be available from November, with the price being announced at that time.

Samsung GX-10 Added @ Three new Pentax DA star lenses
Pentax has posted some very brief information about three new digital-only DA* (star) lenses which utilize built-in Supersonic motors for focusing and are likely to be environmentally sealed to match the recently announced K10D. The lenses are the DA* 16-50 mm F2.8 ED AL [IF], DA* 50-135 mm F2.8 ED [IF] and the DA* 60-250 mm F4 ED [IF]. On a digital SLR with a 1.5x FOV crop (such as the K10D) these lenses will provide an equivelant field-of-view of 24 - 75 mm, 75 - 202.5 mm and 90 - 375 mm. According to available information these lenses should be available in March 2007.
NIKON vs CANON — Один из вечных споров, с поразительной регулярностью возникающий на фотографических форумах, берет свои истоки в 17-м веке, когда патриарх Никон по инициативе царя провел реформу православной церкви. Эта реформа привела к расколу верующих на последователей Никона (Никонистов) и тех, кто хотел жить по старому канону (Канонистов).
Sigma has today announced the long awaited successor to the SD10, the new SD14. The SD14 features a Foveon X3 sensor with '14 megapixels', those being delivered over three separate color sensitive layers, in a 2652 x 1769 x 3 configuration. In its optimum native output size (2652 x 1769) the SD14 offers approximately 35% more resolution. The sensor size remains the same meaning a 1.7x field-of-view crop. Headline improvements include in-camera JPEG, a larger, brighter viewfinder, a larger 2.5" LCD monitor, Lithium-Ion battery, improved auto focus and continuous shooting and a built-in flash.

Fujifilm has today announced the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro, or at least the development of it, due to be available in 'early 2007'. The S5 Pro features the same SuperCCD SR design sensor although now called 'SR Pro', it features 6.17 million 'S photodiodes' (normal DR) and 6.17 million 'R photodiodes' (highlight DR) for a total photodiode count of 12.34 million. Other headline improvements are the new body (which is obviously based on the Nikon D200) and all that includes; better AF, i-TTL flash, metering, Lithium-Ion battery. Other improvements include better DR control, up to ISO 3200 sensitivity and LAN / WiFi accessories.

Martha Holmes, a former Life magazine photographer known for her signature pictures of famous people including painter Jackson Pollock and film stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, has died. She was 83.
Holmes died at home in Manhattan on Sept. 19, said Bobbi Baker Burrows, a Life picture editor who worked with Holmes. She said family members reported the death was from natural causes.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Holmes was hired by Life in 1944 from the Louisville Courier-Journal, after another Life photographer on assignment there noticed her work. She was the third female addition to the elite magazine staff, and worked mainly out of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and later New York.
"Martha Holmes was a rarity among professional photographers, because everybody liked her," former Life managing editor Ralph Graves said in a statement. "She made people feel she cared just as much about them as she did about getting her pictures."
In 1949, she photographed Pollock at work with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. The image became a U.S. postage stamp, "with the cigarette airbrushed out," Burrows said.
Holmes depicted Bogart and Bacall standing by a table at a House Un-American Activities Committee hearing on Communist influence in Hollywood in 1947, CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow driving a tractor on his Connecticut farm, and Eleanor Roosevelt walking in woods with a group of orphans.
Other notable subjects were United Mine Workers president John L. Lewis, comedian Groucho Marx, jazz immortal Louis Armstrong and singer Frank Sinatra.
"Above all, Martha Holmes was a photographer of people. She sought to bring out the personal side of public figures," Burrows said.
She was married for 46 years to Arthur Waxman, a theatrical executive and early general manager of the Actors Studio. Waxman died in 1998.
Sigma has today announced the interesting, unique DP1 digital camera which features the same Foveon 14M X3 sensor (2652 x 1768 x 3 layers) as the SD14 and a fixed 16.6 mm F4.0 lens (providing a 28 mm equiv. FOV). As a development announcement there isn't a lot more detail than this, a quick look over the body images reveals a large LCD monitor, pop-up flash and the expected range of manual controls.
Sigma DP1 high-end compact digital camera equipped with 14 megapixel, large direct image sensor.
14 megapixel direct image sensor as used in the Sigma SD14 digital SLR. Featuring Sigma’s new, unique ‘True’ image processing engine. 16.6 mm F4 lens (28mm equivalent). The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new, groundbreaking Sigma DP1 compact digital camera featuring a 14 megapixel FOVEON X3 direct image sensor (2652 × 1768 × 3 layers) as used in the Sigma SD14 digital SLR. The image sensor uses three silicon embedded layers of photo sensors, stacked to take advantage of silicon’s ability to absorb red, green and blue light at different respective depths.
A 16.6mm F4 Sigma lens, with a wide angle field of view equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm film camera, has been developed to maximize the image quality in conjunction with the full colour capture image sensor.
The DP1 takes advantage of the image sensor’s superior technology to capture accurate, full colour image information.
Sigma’s unique and powerful ‘True’ image processor is incorporated into the DP1, enabling it to handle the large image files produced by the 14 megapixel sensor and reproduce exceptional definition with image quality equal to professional digital SLR cameras and on a par with top quality film. The Sigma DP1 is equipped with a large 2.5” TFT LCD monitor with 100% image preview, making confirmation of composition, focusing and exposure quick and easy. This compact camera includes JPEG recording format for speed and convenience and a RAW data (X3F) recording mode for retaining full image capture detail of the utmost quality.
