Wearing black is slimming and covers up all sorts of ugly lumps and bumps.

Someone mocked this up on the other forum, and are proposing petitioning Pentax for an all black version! I can live with this version much better, I think.

Reminds me of Kung-Fu Panda!

Oh jeez - everytime I look at the K-01 I expect to see bubbles blowing out of the mode selector dial. Curse you, Marc Newson!

All they need to do is put the black bits off the top of the silver version onto the black version and hey presto! It's black!

But they already have a so-called black version so it would have to be the "All Black" version - including hopefully the designer's signature on the bottom (arrrgh at that!).

That all black sure looks nice. I wonder if they'd release that (they should!). I'd also like to see an orange and black version, and an all white or all silver version.

Heck, if they created an all pink version, I'm sure that would sell! My wife would buy one for sure LOL

I've seen an image of the black and silver version with silver ltd's, it matches the silver ltd's quite nicely..

How boring, any colour you like as long as it`s black. How can a manufacturer hope to fulfill the rising markets in the world with thoughts like these. What colours sell ipods, iphones? and we are not talking single figures here are we? I would have a yellow one just to demonstrate that not all camera owners are in in the dark ages.

I'm up for the yellow one too! Industrial strength K-01! Yellow proves it's in a class of its own. LOL

I didn`t like the look of Suzuki Swift overmuch when I first saw them. Have bought four of them so far

Opethian, just a thought. Howz about buying up a batch and rebranding as JCB or Caterpillar?
