Pentax K-m DSLR gets smothered in Swarovski crystals

No, you can't order a Pentax K-m with live view, but you can end up with one littered in Swarovski crystals. Over at Photokina, this gem (ahem) was proudly on display, reportedly aimed at dames in the crowd with a thing for fashion and technology. A company representative wouldn't disclose pricing, through she did say any prospective buyers could phone up Pentax to talk cheddar.

I like the 60th anniversary Pentax much better.

Oh please, stop the non-sense!

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

You might as well start encrusting the retards that buys these jewel covered cameras, phones, computers and cocks.

how impractical... :/

[Blastar @ Sep 26th 2008 5:19AM]

Just Ugly.
I mean maybe these small Swarovski crystals are probably very beautiful when you look at them one by one.
But that camera over there is just so UGLY.

Great for photographer to shooting celebrities during red carpet event !!!! I was at TIFF, you know how difficult was it to get the celebrities' eye to look in the camera for a fraction of a second?

It is like studio putting a teddy bear on the camera to get baby's attention for the snap

What a waste of useless minerals

[GagdetHeat @ Sep 26th 2008 5:33AM]

If you bling it they will come (^^)....

[Inane_Asylum @ Sep 26th 2008 8:20AM]

Just buy a friggin camera and bedazzler, and you're all set.

And probably save a couple thousand in the process...

Doing this is an invitation to lots of free press, so this doesn't surprise me. Whether anyone wants to buy it or not (someone will) is really besides the point.

Is it me or is Swarovski the biggest whore in the Gadget Community these days?

[farfisa @ Sep 26th 2008 8:56AM]

Are those our only choices? You or Swarovski? Then I'm undecided.

It must be a pleasure to hold. Great for long days in the field doing wildlife photography.

More money than brains

[Mario @ Sep 26th 2008 12:54PM]

Do they make one covered in shells?

[A @ Sep 26th 2008 2:52PM]

Thanks for pointing out the pun. I never would have caught it without you pointing it out for me.

nothing wrong with taking pride in your work. :)
