        I'd like to point out, with Smart Range activated, total exposure time is doubled. Its possible to achieve up to 32s exposure!

        EX1's fast lens is amazing... with a zoom range of 24mm plus the articulated viewer, the great shots and additionally the compact size which perfectly suit me, I do believe the EX1 has won me ever!

        Hi Onigiri,

        Samsung's website confirms that the EX1 can focus as close as 1cm.

        Is the "Macro capabilities" really 1cm, like the Panasonic LX-5? (got it from here: http://snapsort.com/compare/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC-LX5-vs-Samsung_EX1 at the "Common Strengths") I thought I've read something like 5cm, but I'm not sure.
        Would be happy about an answer!
        Thanks in advance

        Thanks for pointing that out Kerry, we've updated weight to say 386g (including battery), and that update will appear on our site later today.
