Originally posted by Christine Tham I noticed that there's a few ebay sellers selling the all pink K-r (pink body and grip) for around $1000 and the pink DA35/2.4 for around $370.
Tempted, but at these prices the black K-5 with black DA35 is much better value for money.
So ... basically ... is pink worth the price premium?
Well, it's not going to provide better performance with the color alone.....so looking at it practically and bottom line I would say absolutely not. If you're deciding on the K-5 vs the K-r.....and you were thinking about buying the pink K-r for $1,000, then it is no contest. The K-5 is, as you suggested, a much better value at that point.
But of course these things are so subjective.....it's a little confusing to me that a question about something as individually interpretative as a color would be posted for a definitive answer? But maybe if those who have one can comment on how striking the color is, it might persuade your decision.
I really liked the navy blue K-x, but found a new K-r two lens kit in black that was cheaper than the K-x w/18-55. Function won over form.
