I wouldn't mind that black and white striped one. Hopefully they will show up on Amazon?

looks cool but will look ridiculous on me since it really only works on people with small body frame... don't want to show it to my wife, she might want one...

The Camera has great specs almost a K3 but with better video and a lot smaller and probably half the price. ( just what a lot were crying about last year )
Except for the thickness due to the mount distance it is the size of an E-M5.
I will probably replace my Kx with one.

Maybe the bags are weather sealed.

I think some Pentax products are geared to strictly Japanese tastes and so we in other parts of the world find it strange.

The K-S1 is available in 4 "fabric collection" colors, so yup, they are clearly targeting people interested in matching the camera up to their clothes.

Inspired by fast-food carry-out bags...

Honestly, I think they just made those color names up... Those colors certainly don't look like any fabric whatsoever.

That is a fine distinction and probably quite true.
