Originally posted by Mo I always like collecting Pentax rarities, and I think the new Grand Prix K10D package falls under that category! After Pentax announced it in Japan, I was on the lookout for it in the Pentax USA online store, and last week, it popped up! I faced trouble ordering it online, so I had to call Pentax. It turns out that you can only order it by phone directly from Pentax, and that there are only 10 of these packages available in the US!
Other than being nicely packaged and having gold lettering, it's just an ordinary K10D. Here are a few snaps:
Mo, congrats on your new toy/collection!
Frankly, I don't like the appearance of this grand prix version. In the past, the Special Edition (SE) of Z-1/1p etc. were in silver colour. The gold labels and markings look odd to me and that I would still prefer to see the PENTAX logo at the bottom of the LCD instead of a line of words for the grand prix which meaning is not exactly clear.
If there is a silver version, I might have brought it last month at Japan.
