My all time favourite was and is (so far) the Pentax MX for it's small size, great build quality and FABULOUS viewfinder.
(but just bought a LX that I can't put down...)

I kept looking until I found a white K-01 at a good price.
I think the yellow looks too extreme, the black and silver seem to be "trying to look like traditional cameras" whereas the white seems to emphasise the non traditional design ideas.
Of course "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but to me the white model is the ideal K-01.

We're still using designs based on the old 35mm film camera shape and in black because it looks "cool" or "pro"......
I like the way Pentax, more than the rest are challenging this; remember "Pentax" were frequently innovators and ahead of the game, and they still offer several cameras in wild colours.
Olympus and NIKON are outrageously going for the "retro film era look" and I expect there are a few Pentax fans hoping for a digital version of the Spotmatic or ME Super, but this is all just marketing! (and backward looking)
The K-01 was a useful experiment and if nothing else, it has left a few of us with a quirky looking very high quality camera that cost only peanuts!
