Samsung GX-1L First Impressions Review

Value
We generally liked the *ist DL, except for the autofocus system. The *ist DL2, and therefore the GX-1L, have upgraded to a 5-sensor autofocus system, which we expect to perform better.

It's a little tricky to talk about the value of a camera which has only a tentative price, and Samsung won't say for sure that the GX-1L kit will cost $699. Assuming that it does, we'd call the camera a fairly good deal. It depends on how much better the GX-1L's autofocus system is than the *ist DL's.
