Pardon the digression from the midwest to a galaxy far far away but I was looking at some of the recent toys from CES and was struck by the new white Pentax camera. Is it just me or does it look like Pentax got the contract to outfit Imperial forces with cameras?

And while on a Star Wars theme how about this for a camera pack-the Yoda Backpack. A photographer with the Force as his ally needs no padding....

Cool! I like how some people commented that they don't like it because it's made by Pentax, but if Nikon or Canon made it, they'd buy it in a heartbeat. For a "starter" DSLR, 10mp, two lenses included and a Help button on the camera itself, either the white or black version should be good sellers, although I'm guessing the white version will be considerably higher in cost.

Love the Yoda backpack..that's neat! :biggrin:

Yeah, but will it produce a talking 3-D holographic image?
