Hey, this isn't Silver! It's "prestige."

Looks good. Very low-key. Kind of an 'un-bling' look, the exact opposite of the Silver Edition.

But one could come close to this look just by greying out with a marker the Pentax logo and 'K-3' sign of a normal K-3.

EDIT:
I also notice the large image Ricoh is distributing of this new K-3 that is in the write up on the front page (here) is shot using a Hasselblad H20-v digital back, probably on a Phase One body. The studio deleted the camera make and model from the EXIF, but other details are still in the EXIF. Sigh. Why no 645Z?

Not gonna lie, this is much more tempting! A modern P30t...except for the interchangeable sensors

I think it's a great sign. If they didn't have better news they would've pushed this one to photokina.

I like it, but what really makes it is the red stripe on the 20-40.
