Isn't this just a new color, as opposed to a new body?

 Another MZ series camera!  The Pentax Japan Home Page has just
introduced the new Pentax MZ-5n.  If any Japanese linguists could translate
we greatly appreciate it.
 The item is list under New Products with a July 5th date!  The camera
has an all black body!  And it does NOT have the slanted top of the MZ-S.

Bucky,
 It might just be a new black finish!  But it sure looks different in 
black!

As far as I know the MZ-5n is not a new camera but several years old. The MZ-5n was 
made for exposrt. Japan had the MZ-5 and the MZ-3. Now that the MZ-5 and MZ-3 are 
discontinued Japan will do with the MZ-5n like the rest of the world. In other words, 
this is a release of the MZ-5n on japanese market.
The black color is probably also a japanese market thing like the black MZ-7 or MZ-3.

I agree, and I like it better.  Mine was silver and stood out like a
sore...thing that stands out a lot.  I prefer black equipment because it's
*marginally* less obvious.

Obviously, I'm out of luck on the FA* lenses, although, as Bill has pointed
out to me, big glass is light-colored for functional reasons, so I can't
grip too much.

Why is this? I have noticed it before, but never thought there was a
functional reason for that.

 The MZ-5n has been around for a while, known in some parts of the world as 
the ZX-5n.  But I think a black version would be new.
