Are Pentax getting carried away with coloured cameras??

My god that wasn't the actual toy figure was it? That looks really crappy like something you'd make in 3rd form woodwork...and it comes with this figure.
I think the coloured cameras are a stroke of genius. Look what it did for the original iMac! Here's hoping that Canon and Nikon take themselves too seriously to bring out their own.
In fact had a conversation with a client on Thursday, she asked me for any recommendations for a beginner's DSLR so she could take photos of her kids. I suggested the K-x of course, but she was leaning towards a Nikon (suggested by her non-photographer husband). But when I mentioned the K-x came in different colours her eyes lit up and she was completely sold on the idea! This was a woman in her late 40s.

I'd just like a black KX, with those little red focus point indicators in the viewfinder.

I think one covered in neoprene would be a good idea...transparent is a nice idea too.
In general I think coloured cameras are a good idea, my wife has a white K-m twin-lens kit, which actually looks very nice. Techniccolour looks a bit garish though.....

I think the coloured (and multi-coloured) versions of the K-X are fantastic. I personally wouldn't buy one ( I have a black one) but I can see the appeal to younger people, perhaps starting out in their hobby/career. A shrewd move by Pentax.
Yes, Flossie, they are a matter of personal taste. Personally, I think the Mona Lisa is a minger. I wouldn't hang it in my toilet.
