No those are a limited Japanese edition of the K-m. In fact RiceWhine
bought one saying it was the best model Pentax had at the time... They
also had a platinum or titanium color edition of the K20D in Japan
which never got abroad. Humbler minds would have called it silver. It
looked horrible to me.

Still rather glossy, but probably better than pure black for low

If you're willing to take my word for it, go for the white.  The red
feels too 'plasticky' --if you're looking to something like a fire
engine high gloss red, the red K-x is a bit of a let down.  It feels
like a scale model red plastic before you applied any airbrushing or
paint.

Agree. In real life, the red of the K-x does not truly look like a racing 
red as depicted by photos. It's more like an oversaturated pink. The white 
and the navy blue are as expected.

There are two ways that you could go with red, a vivid, in your face,  
put it on a Ferrari, or a set of high heels, ruby red, or a deep,  
tasteful red that would complement a black tuxedo.  Anything less than  
that is just a pimply faced fourteen year old trying to taunt you from  
across the room with jibes that were old when his grandfather was that  
age.


Rather than a half assed red, I'd rather have hello kitty pink, or  
dayglo chartreuse. I'll probably end up with the stormtrooper white.  
If nothing else, it'll be a great prop for science fiction  
conventions.  It does have a nice Stanley Kubrick 21st century feel to  
it.





cheers,
frank

 Fun!

 Not sure about that colour, though.  I mean, if it sells, I don't
 begrudge or criticize anyone for choosing it.  If I were, for
 instance, a teenage girl (and they were out of Hello Kitty models) it
 might work.  I might, for instance, give it to my girlfriend (if I had
 one) for Valentine's Day.

 But for me, I prefer something a bit more stealthy - I'll take black, 
 please...

 ;-)

I'm not too particular about color too but I like the idea of walking
into my class with a white one and saying to my students how it goes
well with their Macs...

 Thanks a bunch.  My gut feeling was that the red didn't live up to
 its potential.

I would still buy the red if the kx itself would not get lost between
my first and second fingers.  darned tiny.

 cheers,
 frank

its oddly counter intuitive but out on the street no one paid attention
to a friend with the blue but got shy when I lifted the K10D  have not
shot street with the new red one around.  My theory if that people
thinks the coloured ones are toys and do not take them seriously.
