Golden, CO—For consumers looking to add a trendy colored digital SLR to their imaging arsenal, Pentax announced that its K-x DSLR, already offered in an array of colors, is now available in olive, pink, chocolate and beige.
The compact and lightweight Pentax K-x first shipped in October 2009, boasting a one-handed shooting design and easy operation that makes it geared for users stepping up from a point-and-shoot digital camera to their first digital SLR.

autofocus (16 faces); widescreen HD video capture in 720p at a cinematic 24 frames per second, using any Pentax 35mm lens; High Dynamic Range image capture that blends three bracketed images into a single picture for shadow, highlight and midrange details; and Pentax’s auto picture and scene modes for almost any situation to help new photographers learn DSLR photography.
The K-x also has a 4.7-fps capture speed and a 1/6,000-sec maximum shutter speed. Specs state it will capture up to 1900 shots with AA lithium batteries (also compatible with AA NiMH rechargeable and alkaline batteries).
The Pentax K-x DSLR, available in all twelve colors, is priced at $649.95 with a DA L 18-55mm lens.
