Pentax Offers Colorful K-x DSLR Lineup In U.S.

Pentax has their work cut out for them. With companies like Olympus, Nikon and Canon dominating the DSLR scene, it's tough to get anyone's attention with a different label. That said, colors sure do get attention, and that's exactly the tactic Pentax is using with their newest lineup. The company's K-x DSLR line has been available overseas in a variety of hues for awhile now, but Americans were stuck with just the basics. Now, the K-x can be ordered by Americans in limited edition bright blue, orange, green and purple.



Each kit comes with an 18-55mm lens and an array of features including Live View and HD video recording. Even the limited models are being priced at $649.95 (with lens), and all eight colors are now available for pre-order at the company's own website. Now, we wonder how long it'll take to see a blue and red D90 or XTi?
