Overall ImpressionsConnectivity
Software
The GX-1L sells with Storage Driver and Digimax Master software. Look for our full review to learn more about this software.
Jacks, Ports, Plugs
The GX-1L has a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port, analog video output in PAL or NTSC, a hot shoe for dedicated flash and accepts an external power supply. These are typical ports for a DSLR.
Direct Print Options
The GX-1L is PictBridge and DPOF compatible, so users can print images without a computer, either by plugging a printer into the camera's USB port or by saving a print order on the GX-1L's SD memory card and taking the card to a photofinisher. Look for our full review to learn more about printing from the GX-1L.
Battery
The GX-1L takes four AA batteries, or 2 CR-V3 Lithium cells. Samsung says Lithium, Alkaline or NiMH rechargeable AAs are fine, but typically, Alkaline cells wear out very quickly in digital cameras, and no AA battery lasts as long as custom Lithium-ion cells. AAs are cheaper and almost universally available, so there are advantages to each technology.
Memory
The GX-1L takes SD cards, perhaps the most popular format for camera memory, and definitely the most popular for compact cameras. Users who upgrade to the GX-1L from a compact camera will most likely already have an SD card or two, and will be able to use them in the GX-1L.
Other Features
Sensor Cleaning - The GX-1L has a sensor cleaning mode which opens the shutter to expose the sensor for dust removal.
Wireless Remote - The GX-1L accepts a wireless infrared remote control. The remote control can fire the camera instantly, or with a 3-second delay.

Nikon Coolpix L810 First Impressions Review
Nikon’s L810 is a AA-powered ultrazoom that somehow manages 26x for under $300. Some cost-cutting efforts have certainly been made, and controls are quite simplified, but for the right user this could be an ideal camera. Read More...
