Funny!
I see they have changed them now.
I always give thumbs up ti Digi direct as they are the best Pentax stockist in the Sydney CBD aswell as a good store over in the huge Bondi mall- Award overall goes to DCW but its out in Canterbury for the brick and mortar store.
Did you see on Digis website they are even still rocking a Km at $499!

Why? There's nothing offensive here.

oh...I did not realised that sounded "offensive"

I should have inserted a similie there

I am not offended, none at all. since the "black" K-01 is just an unintended error on the retailer's part, there is prolly not much retention value to this thread...hence the suggestion to delete/lock this thread.

Is it an error? It is an option on Amazon too: Amazon.com: Pentax K-01 16MP APS-C CMOS Compact System Camera Kit with DA 40mm Lens (Black): Camera & Photo.

That Amazon one is the "official" black one.

The "black" one that I posted is the "fake" black one photoshopped by one of our own, but somehow got "selected" (unintentionally of course) as the "preferred" product image on their sales page

A full black one also appeared on the Vanbar site in Australia: http://www.vanbar.com.au/catalogue/product.php?id=77564

However, it is still good for a giggle!
