A silver-colored, limited-edition model of the high-performance digital SLR camera
HOYA CORPORATION PENTAX Imaging Systems Division is pleased to announce the launch of the PENTAX K-7 Limited Silver digital SLR camera. To be marketed in a limited quantity of 1,000 sets, this special-edition model comes with several features that distinguish it from the original black-colored PENTAX K-7 (launched in summer 2009), including a silver-colored body and a “golden section ratio” focusing screen.

In response to the enthusiastic requests from many devoted PENTAX lovers, the camera body is finished in silver. It is identical with the color of the high-performance FA Limited interchangeable lens series, a family of lenses designed for the highest level of image description. Because of this, the K-7 Limited Silver is the perfect stylistic match for any FA Limited-series lens. Set in lower area of the camera body, the SR (Shake Reduction) lettering is in a special gold color that stands out proudly against the subdued black-colored, leather-like finish.
The K-7 Limited Silver comes equipped with an exclusive “golden section ratio” focusing screen. Since the guiding lines and points are curved on the screen, the photographer can swiftly and effortlessly compose a perfectly balanced image in keeping with this classic design concept.
The LCD monitor on the camera’s back panel is protected with a reinforced glass plate, which is highly shock- and scratch-resistant. This protective plate makes the K-7 Limited Silver even more durable and dependable than the original K-7, especially under demanding shooting conditions. Thanks to this extra protection, the photographer can concentrate on picture-taking in challenging outdoor assignments.
The camera firmware has been upgraded to the latest version (Ver. 1.03) to make the camera’s lens compensation function operable with the FA Limited-series lenses.
The latest version (Ver. 4.10) of the PENTAX Digital Camera Utility 4 image processing software is included in the camera package.
Note: The specifications of the camera body are identical with the original K-7, except for the focusing screen and firmware.

I would much prefer having new K-7 ready Remote Assistant shipped with this product ...
Now available: a rock solid, weather-sealed, professional-quality camera which looks like your neighbor's always-on-auto digital Rebel!
I don't care to much how it looks like. I'll be happy with a rebel-look alike. :)
Well, I certainly do like the idea of the reinforced glass plate on the back of the LCD and I'm sure I would feel differently about the look of the camera if I had some of those lovely FA Limiteds.
And it doesn't really look like a Rebel, does it? It is silver in color, but it is metal, yes -- not plastic like the Rebel.
I've just seen so many people with the plastic silver Rebels who don't care to actually learn anything about photography, that my first reaction to a silver camera is negative, but I must admit... it does look pretty good. I don't think I would buy one, personally, unless I had a nice silver FA Limited to go with it, but that's just me.
That is almost certainly silver-coloured plastic, and I am in fact looking for a K7.
Yvon, can you confirm this is available in the US, and through which channels?
svanegmond,
It's actually metal, not plastic. However, it will not be available in the USA according to my reliable source at Pentax.
