K-x - what color do you have?

Steve Beswick · 01-07-2011, 05:32 PM

Just a casual poll to find out what color K-x people have. This thread is just for fun - don't take it too seriously! I couldn't find a list for the original Japanese colors, So if you have one of the very rare ones not on the list, Please just select "other".

When you stat a poll, you actually post it after the thread. I don't get it either, but it is up now.

At first,I never thought myself as a "white" DSLR kind of guy, but having seen the "stormtrooper" on You Tube videos and being somewhat of a non-conformist, I got one and haven't regretted it. Reminds me a little of my very first camera...anyone remember the Polaroid Swinger? it was also white and durable

I have the black one but wanted the white one. When I bought mine the white was $50 or so more.

That's funny, because most places it seems to be the reverse right now. I noticed that the poll is showing black and white are tied right now. That is a bit surprising!

Mods, can this be a sticky, at least temporarily?

lkjr · 01-08-2011, 03:37 PM

Color body K-x users should have gotten a discount as it is a huge free marketing tool for Pentax. No matter where I go, people are always coming up and wanting to see the "cool (star wars) white camera".....

I was really close to getting the bright blue, but I ended up with a white one and I'm very happy. Matches my Nixon watch lol.

You might want to shop around - I know the twin lens kit is (or at least was) available in white in the US, but not everyone offers it. Maybe it is the same in the UK? Only the 18-55 is white though.

mojoe_24 · 01-08-2011, 04:39 PM

The white kit I got came with 18-55 and the 50-200. Not sure if that is the kit you were talking about, but I know the 55-300 kit is also available in white here.

I got a new white Pentax K X with the standard 18-55mm and 50-200mm for $579 with free shipping,off a dealer on Ebay "asavings" I really also like the chocolate brown and beige but both are hard to order online from the U S.
