Functionally identical does not mean the same. ;-) I find Samsung's website nearly clueless when it comes to their photographic gear too. I intend to buy Pentax branded gear because I have had good relations and good service from Pentax USA whenever I've needed it, and their website is at least sensible about the gear.
