Sorry Greytop - gotta disagree there - the history of business is littered with companies that " had a great new marketing idea " in order to boost sales and encourage new business " ( burger companies selling "healthy" foods spring to mind ).
The people that want the jazzy cameras would be better off buying a point and shoot / pocket camera or a decent mobile - my last one was 7 mpx .
Leave the serious photographers with their pride and dignity and belief in a once world leading/beating company which should not need gimmicks like this.
After all Rolls Royce complained when a "celebrity" messed with one of their vehicles.

Well you might be right, time will tell Sorry Greytop - gotta disagree there - the history of business is littered with companies that " had a great new marketing idea " in order to boost sales and encourage new business " ( burger companies selling "healthy" foods spring to mind ).

Right now though the K-x sales figures look pretty healthy by any of the D-SLR manufacturer's standards.

Interesting image Andrew. I like the symmetry, colours of decaying steel leaching into the stone work.
It is an image I feel compelled to study.
My preference is your uncropped original version

Sorry but as an ex-Michelin masterchef it would be like me selling chips and cheese melts to stay in business ! Better to fold and open a chippy rather than prostitute oneself.
Whilst it's not my personal taste I can see why they are doing it and for that I applaud them.Sorry but as an ex-Michelin masterchef it would be like me selling chips and cheese melts to stay in business ! Better to fold and open a chippy rather than prostitute oneself.
Prospective first time purchasers attracted to the colours may not realise quite what a good camera it is until they start using it. The spin off being that they will hopefully stick with the brand which is of course future repeat business for Pentax.
Mind you if ever I were to buy a K-x it would be black
