I'd like to see a Navy Blue Pentax.
Cosina-Voightlander made a handsome navy blue Bessa rangefinder.
Olive Green, Grey were also available, along with the standard silver
Why is liking a different color stupid? I don't get it. Many times
when I want something, if it has color I may choose one. If you want
to look like a 'Professional photographer', then black is in. But
I'm saying that many people could care less about looking like a pro.

If it helps, this is not just a 'woman' thing. How about 'Soccer

That's about the dumbest looking camera I've ever seen.

Sorry Marnie, but I think you are a few months older than the usual
target segment for this white DSRL :-)
You and I like discretion yes. But the younger generation definitely
don't. In fact most of them have the quite opposite approach to life.
They will grab anything, that makes them think it

Cough, women aren't quite that stupid.
So basically this is a stupid move on
Pentax's part.
It's not a matter of stupid or otherwise. Women tend to be more
interested in colorful or bright cameras and accessories than men. I
know this from two sources. First was the market research I used

How much effort do you think they have put into this?

The white K2000 is targeted at the biggest segment of the photography market:
casual snapshooting women, particularly moms.
While it might make sense to target this market segment, I am not sure that

What's the issue here. This doesn't hurt anyone.
It is a simple line extension which costs minimal $$$ for Pentax,
and gets them a whole new round of publicity and exposure.

Are 'double stuff' Oreo's a stupid idea?
Are Oreo 'minis' a stupid idea?
