What name is on the faceplate, if the guts of the cameras are
identical, is almost irrelevant. The only relevance would be which
distributor provides better customer service on repairs.
Kinda like buying the Panasonic LX1 vs the Leica DLux2. You're buying
the same product, but if you pay the 20-30% Leica premium you get
Leica's service and support. (I bought the Panasonic...)

OK, here's a question to those who may be interested, brought about

thread about the name of the new Pentax
Give that the Samsung and the Pentax are the same camera, given the
opportunity to buy either, would you choose the Pentax or the
Samsung name,
and under what circumstances, i.e., if one were less expensive than
the
other.

I've got Italian press releases of both the Samsung GX-1S and GX-1L.
Specs are identical to their Pentax relatives, hence it is perfectly
clear that
they are the *istDS2 and the *istDL2.
And, of course, both the Samsungs output .PEF RAW files.
