Pentax seems to have a sweet spot for digital cameras with funky designs, and this time it’s the Pentax K-r that will receive a limited edition treatment. Pentax today announced [JP] the so-called K-r BONNIE PINK MODEL”, a redesigned version of the camera, which was released last year.

Bonnie Pink is the name of a fairly famous Japanese pop star.

Technically, Pentax didn’t change anything, apart from adding a boot screen that shows the singer’s logo. Buyers will get a DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL BONNIE PINK MODEL lens that’s bundled with the camera.

The camera will be limited to just 100 units (price: $1,100). Pentax will start selling it next month: ask specialized online store Rinkya if you want to lay your hands on one but don’t live in Japan.
