The Pentax K10D and similar Samsung GX-10 are 10.2-megapixel digital single-lens reflex cameras launched in late 2006. They were developed in a collaboration between Pentax of Japan and Samsung of South Korea.[3]
The K10D was announced on 13 September 2006,[4] and released in mid-November 2006, while Samsung announced the GX-10 on 21 September 2006[5] and it became available on January 1, 2007. The Pentax K20D, successor to the K10D, was officially announced on January 23, 2008.[6]
The K10D has been hailed by Popular Photography and Imaging magazine as "an all-star player,"[7] and was named as a finalist for their 2007 "Camera of the Year" award.[8]
