Silver with a brown grip so it goes nicely with the FA limiteds So what colour combination will you go for?

I can't believe they didn't brought a silver one out for Europe not even with the K-X or K-M
Maybe they save that for the K-5

It slots nicely though between the K-x and the K-7 it even looks like a hybrid between the two but with the ISO performance of the K-x hopefully

The ISO12800 performance of the K-r is certainly impressive

They're saving that for when they need serious market penetration.And why did they skip K-Y?
Since it is too long to post here, my Pentax K-r Viewpoint is on my blog.

I have two you can check out above: a throwback black and silver number to match the FA Limiteds and an oh-so-bling gold number.

It does make you wonder, if they win awards and bring out the 'special edition' what on earth are they going to do? Gold may not be too impressive!

Pleased they have re'introduced the focus conformation points in the veiw finder. Its on the Pentax site at 74.800 Yen which I think is around £578.
