Pentax’s white SLR for Imperial stormtroopers

Author: I think this white version looks pretty darn cool! Of course it makes me wonder, if Canon white lenses are the way they are to dissipate heat, why not make the whole camera white in the first place? Almost seems like this is an idea we should have had all along. Plus it has a certain winter feel to it.
Check out the pictures on CNET, we might be looking at the start of a new trend for the SLR…
It can be hard to get your lower-end SLR to stand out in the crowd of options these days, which is doubtless why Pentax on Tuesday 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 beginning in February, Pentax said. The company won’t announce prices until later, but the ordinary versions of those products cost about $800 today.
