Do Japanese gadget makers think we're not superficial enough to appreciate specially repainted (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/pentaxs-limited-edition-korejanai-k-x-dslr-reminds-us-of-harleq/) editions of their gear? Because we are, we totally are. Pentax is producing a mere 1,000 units of the above slice of DSLR beauty and predictably they all seem to be headed to the Japanese market. The Limited Silver variant of the K-7 adds a few enhancements, too, with a specially reinforced glass plate protecting the LCD and adding to the original's robust weatherproofing (http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pentax-k-7-review-roundup/), as well as updated firmware and photo processing software. The most intriguing addition is the inclusion of a "golden section ratio" focusing screen with curved guiding lines that are supposed to make image composition even easier. We'd say that's just the sort of cosmetic enhancement you'd expect on a prettied up limited edition shooter, but that'd make our bitterness at not being able to buy one too obvious.Pentax trots out gorgeous K-7 Limited Silver DSLR (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/pentax-trots-out-gorgeous-k-7-limited-silver-dslr/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:29:00 EST.
