Yeah, the latest joke from Hasselblad, and it's not even the Mark2. For the price it should be gold plated, at least. Gold's dropped quite a bit, they could do it. Maybe Tiffany's should make an RX100.

The difference being they made the camera from scratch. It was their design. It also looks like more of a bargain than the Hasselblad, which is an RX100 with a piece of wood, the hassy logo and a different color. The LX is actually kind of cool, and they didn't sell out like Hassy did with their Ferrari camera; but it's still unnecessary. In the long run, I'm sure that Pentax is quite the collector's item. The Stellar will be forgotten.

Please, you cant compare the Pentax' special editions with the Hasselblad's Lunar and Stellar. Hasselblad basically just takes a Sony camera and nails on a wooden grip "herpa derp now its worth five times as much"
Too bad its apparently working. Its amazing what the "premium" brands get away with.
