you can get scoffed at carrying a K-5. :ugh: business as usual id say.

I'd totally buy a Vladimir Putin branded KR.

It will never happen

Talk about being the odd one out

Mr Pentax US, Ned Bunnel gives some more insight on his blog:

PENTAX K-r Korejanai-Robo Model - Ned's Photo Journal

Not much that has not been mentioned here already, but there you go...

Well the funny thing is, it kind of pays to be odd man out, especially with a nice Camera like the K-r and K-5

Well, in that case, I wouldn't worry about it! Solution is to carry around a really good RAW Photo or JPEG that's good, and they'll back off

You mean, like: "Oh yeah? Well, look at this data card! It's got a great RAW photo on it. So, back off, man!"

I'm skeptical.

no more security guards asking you not to take pictures with your "pro camera"!

My wife is japanese and she loves this colour combination. She doesn't represent the whole of japanese population of course, but I thought I'd chime in

And thanks for the explanation Christine. That's most enlightening

Kore Ja Nai == Not a Robot.
It is a "joke" when you get on holiday not what you wanted (wanted real robot but got wooden colored "Kore Ja Nai"

Pentax has had strange limited edition cameras for years:

I know there are at least a few others from 20+ years ago.

Oooo! I want one of those too!

NaCl(which do you think is more fun? Kitschy Bling? or "In Your Face" colors?)H2O

But officer! "This is Not a Robot!" I think they will buy that, especially if you say it with a weird look in your eye and a strange giggle
