Pentax celebrates with gold-accented K10D GP DSLR

What do you do if your camera takes home the prestigious Camera Grand Prix 2007 award? Why, you kick out a limited run of 5,000 units to let everyone know about it, that's what. Pentax is proving quite the celebratory bunch, as it has found yet another reason to don the party hat and unveil a fancy looking (but otherwise standard) K10D. The Grand Prix Package comes with the body, a battery grip, a commemorative strap, and the latest firmware pre-installed, and Pentax even applied a special dark brown rubber to the body to make sure it stood out. Additionally, a few logos and indicators are gilded to signify the limited-edition status, and the prominent serial number on each one completes the package. Don't expect to snap one up immediately though, as Pentax is keeping the pricing and available deets on the DL for the time being.

It actually looks nice and would go really well with the new DA lenses that have gold trim

a very deserving win, as they have the single best featured consumer DSLR out in the market, and i say this as a nikon man.

I have the K10D and couldn't be happier. I don't like the color on this limited edition though.

Way to go Pentax! After 2 years I'm still more than happy with my *ist DS and now my recently purchased A30 P&S. Eventually I'd like a K10D, or it's successor, but the DS shows no signs of failing me yet.
