Pentax want you to Pimp your DLSR, or just be plain ridiculous, you decide

Pentax want you to Pimp your DLSR, or just be plain ridiculous, you decide.

I really like Pentax’s approach lately to demystify photography by bringing a sense of humor and color to the DSLR world. Sure I may never invest in a Pink or Yellow DLSR, but I would understand others’ interests in such cameras. But today’s announcement of the “Cameraman” is a bit too far fetch for me.

Indeed, in cooperation with a Japanese artist, Ossu Syugeibu, Pentax now propose some kind of “kit” that will transform your DSLR or Point & Shoot into a doll-like setup. By fixing a rag doll body below your camera and changing your Lens Cap with one where a smiley face is painted on, you would get Pentax’s latest weird, but funny approach to photography.

It should catch on especially in Japan, people everywhere like to personalize their cellphones so why not their cameras?

I agree that this will probably sell well in Japan. Its marketed customers are Japanese and not American, so I can see why it would look fun to Japanese while ridiculous to American.
