Well at least it isn't half as bad as the previous Ltd Edition lol =) And yes.. Red would look good.. but I'd still prefer the original blackness
 
Stussy??? That's kind of weird. I wasn't aware that the GRD market overlaps with the Stussy market.

And I've said this before: the blue limited edition GRD wasn't that bad at all in real life. I've seen them in person, and they are not anyway near as garish as they appear in photos.

Why not, Pentax did it with the KM and now KX .. if someone wants a GRD3 which looks like it was styled by Lego then go for it , at least they didn't resort to a "Hello Kitty" version ! ..

Well, Pentax have already beaten them the Lego look:



There are too many Hello Kitty camera images to link to:

I'm OK with them hooking up with a fashion brand and coming out with a limited edition camera, but why stussy??

The GR strikes me as something in tune with a more minimalist German approach like, say, Helmut Lang or perhaps Hugo Boss, not the urban, baggy, graffiti tagged approach of Stussy.

Hmmmm, HR Geiger would be my choice but that's as weird as Hello Kitty in its own way - LOL

These LE units can become quite valuable...

Really? What "quite valuable" price is the 2006-era Katsuya Terada-designed edition going for?

Since limited editions from Leica and others that are actually used lose value over pristine boxed versions I suppose you'd have to hope this thing would become valuable if you bought a quickly-supplanted piece of hardware that you would not use.
