Pentax is set to offer eight new colours for the body of its K-x digital SLR camera in Europe, so you'll soon be able to enjoy it in pink, green and turquoise.  Amongst the new palette, there should be something to help you stand out.

Japanese consumers have been able to buy the camera in a wide range of colours for a long time, but now the manufacturer's European division has followed suit and released new colours for the camera, which was previously only available in black, blue red or white.

You can now order your K-x in any of the following colours:

• Beige
• Chocolate
• Metallic Fuchsia Pink
• Pink
• Metallic Turquoise
• Grey
• Purple
• Olive Green
• Metallic Brown

The new colours, available in limited numbers, will be available at the same price as the basic version, with an RRP of £599.99 and a 18-55 mm lens.
