Pentax K-S1 Review

Available Colors

Different colors can be assigned to three separate areas covering the nearly the entire surface area of the K-S1: the body, the front body lining/rear thumb rest, and the side of the main grip.  Rather than offering a full color customization service, Ricoh has instead come up with a variety of predetermined styles matching various themes. The Pentax K-S1 is thus available in a total of 15 distinct color combinations from four collections, as we describe below. 

Pentax K-S1 All ColorsNight Sky Collection (Top) Fabric Collection (Middle) Standard Colors (Bottom)

Standard Colors (3)

These three colors are regularly stocked at retailers and are available in 18-55mm kits as well as stand-alone bodies.  The White/Grey K-S1 includes a matching white DA L 18-55mm kit lens.  The other colors include the standard black DA L 18-55mm.

  • Black
  • White/Grey
  • Blue/Black

Fabric Collection (4)

The four colors in the Fabric Collection were carefully selected to match a variety of types of clothing.  Outside of Japan, they are only available in 18-55mm lens kits (which include a black DA L 18-55mm) but are regularly stocked at select retailers.

  • Tweed Grey
  • Denim Blue
  • Linen Brown
  • Cotton Beige

Night Sky Collection (5)

The five colors in the Night Sky Collection match hues one might observe in the sky.  Outside of Japan, they are only available in 18-55mm lens kits (which include a black DA L 18-55mm) but are regularly stocked at select retailers.

  • Dawn Purple
  • Sunset Orange
  • Midnight Black
  • Moon Silver
  • Dusk Gold

K-S1 Candy Collection

Sweets Collection

Sweets Collection (3)

The bright colors in the Sweets Collection are modeled after fruits and pastries.  Outside of Japan, they are only available in 18-55mm lens kits (which include a white/grey DA L 18-55mm) and must be special ordered.  These colors were launched shortly after the debut of the first 12.

  • Lime Pie
  • Strawberry Cake
  • Blue Cream Soda

Generally speaking, the 12 unique colors do not cost extra, though may not always be subject to the same rebates as the regularly-stocked kits.
