"Off" is a good description. Those white K-30s and K-50s do look cool (from photos at least, never held one), I'd probably have gone with that if it were available. The nice thing about black is that you know what you're getting even if you can't get your hands on one in the store (which for Pentax is apparently just about always).
Seems kind of foolish thinking so much about equipment aesthetics, but on the other hand this photography thing is all about making things that are pleasing to the eye, right?!

Originally posted by Edgar_in_Indy I've never seen the gray K-70 in person, but that's kind of the impression I got looking at pictures. The color just seemed a bit off. I enjoy non-black cameras, as my K-x and my K-30 were white, and my m43 cameras have mostly been the classic silver/black models, but I think I'll just go with black if/when I get a K-70.
Oh and if you do pick up a K-70, don't worry, you can disable that glowing ring around the shutter release button. Unless you're into that kind of thing. I was panicked for about 5 minutes before I discovered I could turn it off.
