More Camera Notes

Last December, Pentax announced a white version of its entry-level K2000 SLR and two bundled lenses. The "very limited edition" model comes with white versions of the smc DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL and smc DA L 50-200mm F4-5.6 AL lenses.

In today’s highly competitive camera market, distinctive colors have proved a useful marketing tool, but this one – halfway between summer whites and Star Wars storm trooper chic – takes distinctive design to a whole new level.

I haven’t had a chance to play with the camera, but post it today because:

1) I got this offer via e-mail

2) I’m on vacation with my family and so looking for anything halfway worthwhile to post

3) You have to admit it does look very cool!
