New colors and new breakthrough

[wayne_campbell]

<p>Wow, sweet colors, plus you can take pictures with your finger in front of the lens.</p>

The only thing of interest in details-lacking page was the poorly worded claim that ISO 51200 "will achieve greater enhancement of your photos". That begs to be tested.

<p>Try again. Now there are details.</p>

Wayne, I did if you meant the link (in your OP) to a page with a woman in olive top holding a camera with green tones. BTW, that page also lists your Google mail address.

 

( . . . time passes . . . )

 

Never mind as I found your Aug 2014 post ...

 

http://www.photo.net/pentax-camera-forum/00cnDw

 

... that has a link to ...

 

http://www.us.ricoh-imaging.com/dslr/K-S1_Standard

 

... so now I understand that the purpose of this thread was to introduce us to the camera color options. I am sorry for the noise.

<p>But of course "ISO 51200 will achieve greater enhancement of your photos"... if you are a drone, that's it.</p>

<p>As a side comment, the camera in the hands of the lady looks suspiciously Photoshopped ... I suspect they did so to make the camera even smaller than it actually is, looking at other pictures on the net it doesn't quite seem to be that small.<br>

<br />Quite dishonest from their end if you ask me. But sadly rather the norm in advertising these days.</p>

[phule]

<p>I am very surprised that Ricoh/Pentax would put out and advertisement like that. That's very obvious a terrible photoshop job. My guess is that the company hired to do the ad work is going to be asked some very pointed questions.</p>

<p>I'm just happy to have Pentax still going and Ricoh back into the higher level cameras.</p>

<p>When the local camera store went out of business, I had a shot at a display of >12 <em>dummy</em> Pentaxes in all colors in a great monster display case.<br /> Although I was glad the other guy got it, I was still sorry too.</p>

<p>Here is my dream Pentax:<br /> http://gizmodo.com/5536387/rainbow-pentax-k-x-is-some-sort-of-culmination </p>

<p>At least they seem to have got past the original announced name for the operation - Pentax Ricoh Imaging Corporation or PRIC for short.</p>

<p>The more interesting thing is that Pentax/Ricoh found such a gigantic woman to hold their camera. The fact her fingers can even reach in front the lens while holding it is astounding -- her giant mitts make a K-mount SLR look like Pentax-Q.</p>

<p> </p>

[andrewg_ny]

<p>Joking aside, these are pretty good new color combos (even if rather effeminate, which was probably the point).</p>

[wayne_campbell]

<p>JDM.....if that's your dream Pentax then you must have been taking something stronger than<br>

Ambien before dropping off. </p>

<p>Is there evidence that colors of a camera, sells camera's? Seriously I'm shocked and dismayed, or even embarrassed that its all come to this. I don't know maybe they've got money to burn putting these things out. Is it desperation?</p>
