Significantly worse than the competition is a better description of the NX10's EVF, it's both significantly smaller and noticably lower in resolution than the G1/GH1 or E-P2/E-PL1 EVF's, although it does remain better than the GF1 or G10's low-rez EVF. The NX10's a good exercise in not quite there as that's pretty much a description of everything about it when compared to the Micro-4/3rds bodies. Nice camera overall, but there's better available, and for less money too. -- M.

They look closer on paper because the handgrip is the limiting factor for depth on the bare bodies and also on the G1 with the m.Zuiko 17 mounted, All the limiteds are deep enough to project at least slightly in front of the grip so the size difference grows with a lens mounted. Neither is shirt-pocketable, both are coat pocketable. I find they complement each other very well. The G1's the better minimalist-carry camera as well as better on a tripod (as it has a remote release, a flip-twist LCD which makes shooting with the tripod not at eyelevel easy and it does a countdown on the LCD for exposures over 1 second) and also it's nicer for manual focus. The K-x does low-light and action better, and I prefer the pair of DA kit zooms (I've got the 18-55 II and 50-200) over those for the G1 (Using the kit 14-45 OIS and an adapted 4/3rds 40-150 f4-5.6). If you want a nice pocketable camera with a Pentax collection, a Pentax 43mm f1.9 Special, a LTM-m43 adapter and a GF1 or E-P2 would make a nice como, you'd probably want either the Panasonic 20/1.7 or the Oly 17/2.8 pancakes for a wide-normal to complement the portrait-length 43. -- M.

No, but maybe they'll re-badge the Samsung NX[something].
