Samsung Pro815 at Photokina : The Samsung booth drew quit a lot of attention and especially the new NV-series were quite appealing to a lot of the visitors. Of course the new 10 Megapixel Samsung GX10 made people curious and a lot of them wanted to find out what the deal is between Samsung and Pentax. Somehow it surprised me to see that Samsung did not introduce a real 100% Samsung-only DSLR. However this new model seems to be the first end-result of the cooperation between Samsung and Pentax and we were promised that we may expect more to come… Among the new stylish Samsung NV-series the Samsung Pro815 was showcased behind the glass. This model was awarded with a DIWA Gold award and is still quit unique in its own way.
