The sales could be attracted by new silver lenses....And not silver too.

Yes. The problem with the silver bodies is that you need silver lenses to go with them. This should have been launched with the new D-FA* 50mm F/1.4 in silver.

Personally I liked the Prestige edition of the K-3, but again I would want matching lenses.

It's rather funny, but there is K-1 Silver in the network of household electronics in Russia...Never was it before with other limited edition cameras...

Don't care about how the silver looks. I was sold on the price it had with the included battery grip, the rest is a bonus.

I just got a P-R notification that the K-1 received the 2018 German design award (entertainment div) ? Seems like it's for the ergonomics.

Looks like the tilting sensor patent is an interesting twist to the other brands curved sensors.

I wonder how much the silver K-1 is priced in here locally? The black one was priced about the same as the silver in B&H. Moreover, all Pentax cameras were assembled in my country.

It appears there were quite a few "winners" in the Entertainment category:

I called B&H, the camera has a 90 day warranty, missing USB cable and no special silver hot shoe cover. Might as well buy the regular one with the free grip.

In exchange for a $407 savings on a 9+ camera with grip, the missing silver hotshoe cover (and USB cable that is not included anyway) is easily ignored. I only mentioned this because it's a great deal if you want the silver version.

And this slightly-used camera even defies physics, having traveled back through time:

Per Ricoh's crack marketing machine, TODAY:

"Limited Silver Full Frame DSLR
Introducing the eagerly awaited Limited Silver edition of the PENTAX K-1.

Buy the camera, keep the silver hot shoe cover, sell the rest - sounds like a plan
