Three unknown Pentax Optio cameras appeared on the internet yesterday, and then quickly disappeared. But not before the intrepid Photo Rumors managed to grab some pictures from the Google cache of the pages. Behold, the Pentax L-10 and H-90.
As always with Photo Rumors, there is nary a detail to be had, let alone an actual link to the now-defunct pages from which these pictures came. But as these pictures are in keeping with Pentax’s retro-styling of the Optio line, and its love of oddly hideous color schemes in general, we’ll bite. Add in an expected announcement from Pentax tomorrow for rumor-checking purposes and we’re all over this.
In the absence of more concrete specs (and because we want to), we shall instead wonder at the inspiration for these “designs”. I’m saying they’re based on movies, and for the boxy orange and silver H-90, I’m going with Silent Running, Douglas Trumbull’s 1972 low-key sci-Fi masterpiece. And for the white and weird L-10, which has a pale, irritating lack of real substance, what better than Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
