In order to extend the news cycle a bit, companies tend to release variants of their gadgets on an extended schedule. Case in point: the T3 DSLR was announced back in February, and we are supposed to believe they just now achieved the level of technology required to paint them colors other than black! I kid, I kid. But only kind of.

Yes, Canon’s entry-level DSLR now comes in three new and surprisingly tasteful colors. Sober grey, espresso brown, and wine red are added to the plain black version, though there are no lenses to match. They cost the same with the kit lens ($600), though right now the Canon store has them for $50 off. You can find it online for less, but it’s worth mentioning.
