Pentax announced the introduction of a limited-edition all-white K2000 digital SLR. The camera itself is not new as it is exactly identical in shape and specifications as the regular K2000, but it is the white-colored body and lens that makes this a somewhat special announcement.

In a market that sees virtually no color variations in body color (at least among SLR’s), the Pentax K2000 white edition is an instant unique thing to own. I’m not sure that I’d like to own a white camera body (for fear of it turning yellow after lots of use), but I’m sure that some people will considering the effectiveness of the color white on particular electronic items as of late. In my opinion, I’d rather go for all-black with an off-white lens than an all-white body like this. Heck, if I had a choice, I’d vouch for a matte-black camera with a matte-black lens.

The white Pentax K2000 is set to be released in February 2009 for a yet undetermined amount.
