I have the Samsung GX10 and bought with the double lens kit like John_g. I sold a Canon 20D to get this kit. I'm very pleased with it as it lets me use my older Pentax K lenses and the kit 18-55 is really quite good. The 50-200 is better than many similar offerings from other makes. Geoffrey Crawley in AP a few months ago said that these lenses were Schneider designs and the better for that. If you have the opportunity to get the GX10 then do it.

Whether the DA or Schneider lenses are designed by Pentax or Schneider is a matter of conjecture, but the 18-55 was around before the GX-1S/L cameras appeared. An interesting point is that the second generation 18-55s for the GX-20 and K20D have different optical formulas

As for the cameras, they are more or less the same, some folk prefer the Samsung's user interface, others (like me) prefer the Pentax...Whatever, they are fabulous cameras...
