To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its camera brand, Pentax has produced a single AP50 DSLR with (largely) the same exterior styling as the original film camera released in 1957 meshed with a modern digital interior. The digital components of the camera are essentially the same as the commercially available K10D DSLR. The mixing of vintage style with modern technology allows Pentax to showcase how far the company's cameras have advanced in the past 50 years. The AP50 will be on display at Pentax's world headquarters in Tokyo until the end of July.
