Pentax K-r receives a rainbow paintjob, 35mm prime lens for limited edition kit
Do not adjust your browsers, that really is a Pentax product adorned with a generous helping of the three primary colors and a mech's head attached to its flash hotshoe. Why? In response to customer demand, of course. It'd seem people were so enamored with the way the K-x got abused restyled that they wanted more of that Korejanai magic, and Pentax is kindly obliging them with a limited run of 100 "robotized" K-r sets. The internal specs are unchanged from the original, but you do get a new 35mm prime lens with a wide F2.4 aperture to play with. Pre-orders costing ¥99,800 ($1,187) will start on December 24th for a delivery in early January. Yup, just in time for you to be the coolest blogger at CES.
Pentax's limited edition Korejanai K-x DSLR reminds us of Harlequin VW Golf
You Yanks won't be getting your paws around this without a buddy in Japan ready and willing to ship it your way, but those camped out in the Land of the Rising Sun can soon jockey for an opportunity to grab the most colorful Pentax K-x DSLR of all time. The Korejanai K-x -- which was engineered by the same folks behind the 'Self Destruct Button' USB hub -- looks as if it had all of its panels painted a different hue, and as diehard lovers of the iconic 1996 Volkswagen Harlequin Golf, we can't help but drool here. Only 100 of these will be sold, and it'll be bundled with a matching Korejanai Robot Model. Of course, the camera itself is identical to the standard version save for the paint job, but somehow we're guessing you'll appreciate this one just a wee bit more. It's set to sell for ¥79,800 (around $880), with orders being accepted starting at 10AM JST on November 2nd. Best set your alarms, kids! [Via Image-Acquire] %Gallery-76443%
Solid Alliance's Kore Ja Nai makes you cry
We all know that Solid Alliance occasionally strays into non compos mentis, but check this one, childrens. The Kore Ja Nai sure looks like a wooden toy robot, right? But that name translates roughly into "this is not it" and is purposely meant to invoke painful feelings from childhood. You know, like the time you opened that present full of yule and hopes of Atari only to find a lameazz Slinky inside. As such, the Kore Ja Nai won't clean your floor or rid the planet of the human scourge, oh no, this ¥7,329 / $64 non-robot is merely a USB stick capable of transporting a paltry 256MBs of say, your Excel spreadsheets. And it's made from plastic! Thanks Solid A, all that whiskey therapy and time spent in dangerous relationships just to bury those memories, wasted. [Via Impress]
