Pentax releases world's ugliest camera: the K-x Red
Dear Pentax,
We need to talk. I don't mean to get on your case-- in the past, I've liked some of the cameras you've put out. That K7 you released earlier in the year, boy that K7 looks like a winner. But this new camera, Pentax. This K-x, as you're calling it. Red? Really? Did you really think that was a good idea? I mean, I can understand the white version, and maybe even the blue one isn't so bad. People like color, I get it, we like variety. But bright red? On a DSLR? Frankly you look a little desperate.
Sincerely,
Andy

I think it's great. Jack White sells a Red Holga, maybe he'll sign on with Pentax too.
Besides, in a world of "yet another black SLR" this will certainly stand out to Pentax's target market.
All that said: some of the color grip/body combos available in Japan are...well, probably best left in Japan. :)

I think it's just this particular shade of red that I dislike, but you're right, I'm sure it'll be quite popular.
Thanks for the links. Now I can finally fulfill my dream of having a fuchsia colored camera with a pink handle! :)
