Those who liked the cartoon-ish [Pentax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentax-17) K-r DSLR will be happy to know that the company is releasing a spin-off model based on J-pop star Bonnie Pink. The camera has the same build and specs; the only noticeable difference is in its [camo, pink and purple color scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razr-plus-1). It's not too far from the original K-r model's design, so the pop-star appeal is essentially the selling point.

Only 100 units of the Pentax K-r Bonnie Pink will be available. It's expected to go on sale next month.
