->> Think Illini fans would like this variation on the Pentax K-x?

This is a Pentax Japan microsite for the new K-x:

Only four colors have been announced for availability in the US market, navy blue, black, white, and red:

Green one is good for shooting accidents on the interstate

->> I'd like one that comes new with body rubs and a couple of scrapes so that when I go to sell it I don't have to worry about the museum piece collectors asking for 100% crop images of every blemish. You could even state it was LNIB!

(Brad - I'm also a grad, I've owned (and worn to games in the early 80's) orange painter bibs from Huey's in Urbana, but I don't think I could carry an orange body...)
