Swarovksi with Pentax K-m DSLR

Pentax KM DSLR swarovksi

It seems to be quite a popular trend nowadays is by pimping up one’s electronic devices with Swarovski crystals although the taste of those who actually “adorn” their gadgets in such a manner is rather debatable. All sorts of products being covered in crystals, but Pentax went a bit too far with this procedure, since it covered its whole K-m model (K2000 in the US) with this shiny stuff, obviously for marketing (and show-off) purposes.

The company’s booth at Photokina included this little “piece of work,” which, apparently, will actually be available for purchase, albeit in a relatively limited edition. Pentax K-m is an entry-level DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera, equipped with a 10.2-megapixel CCD image sensor (23.5mm by 15.7mm), accompanied by the manufacturer’s own PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) image processing unit. It also incorporates a SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism that reduces camera shake by shifting the position of the image sensor vertically and horizontally, as well as five-point wide-area AF system (SAFOX VIII with five cross-type sensors) to assure high-precision autofocusing.

In addition, the ISO range varies between ISO 100 and ISO 3200, and the camera also comes equipped with a 2.7-inch LCD, as well as an advanced viewfinder, with a roughly 96-percent field of view and an approximately 0.85-times magnification.
