For $699?

Well, in any case, it's not official until they become available.

No good reason to do so.
He's being trolled by "sources" a lot and draws crazy conclusions.

If only the K5II had issues, people would have other things to talk about.

What about plaid?

**boriscleto** · 03-28-2013, 08:05 PM

If I hadn't bought the K-5 when I did and that orange had been available at launch...

Let's go Orange!

Truth is, RH didn't predict anything because that poor man is random and sound like a bad indigestion.
One does not need to be Einstein or mr Kitazawa himself to guess Pentax will deliver their consumer grade cameras in a hundred colours at least. It's what Pentax does the best, and people really like it.
Only issue is availability and timing; in the US, colourful K30s are coming now, almost a year after the K30's launch, which could mean K30 gets a quick facelift, another camera is coming, and K30 stays for a bit longer too. If K30 stays, it probably means a cam below K30 is coming out.
