This coloured camera thing is really catching on

All the purists who deride Pentax's multi-coloured lineup must go completely apoplectic over a pink Leica!

You Tube

What a quality paint job, the finished article looks like the paint was applied by a roller.

Bet the folk at Leica are cringing.

That's the same twit who gave the Pentax K-r a bad review. They really need to keep that imbecile away from camera gear.

Amen to that! $7k camera and the twit takes sandpaper and paint to it! Should be banned from commenting on ANY camera or camera related gear for life.

Some people have too much money and too little brains. That video should serve as a posterchild for who should not be reviewing cameras. Trashed an M9. Geez.

Or a posterchild for birth control.

Well, strictly speaking, he did say that it was the "bloody producer" that told him to do it. But I agree, that the guy has an obnoxious personality. It's like he's trying be the photographic equivalent of Jeremy Clarkson, smacking cameras and lenses around with willful glee, inflicting damage on harmless equipment for the sake of "entertainment." But whereas I'd like to share a meal and hear Clarkson's anecdotes, I just want to slap this fellow.

I know its just a camera but that was the guards excuse at the death camps too and they were still guilty regardless of "following orders".
