Sorry, am a novice to cameras. Correct me if I am wrong.
Does this mean the Silver XT1 and the Black XT1 share identical physical specs? Or the Silver XT1 has a superior chip and other improved physical features?
They are basically the same camera, just different paint job. The main differences are PRICE!!, and that the Silver XT1 will comes with all the latest updates when it launch, and the black XT1 has to wait until the firmware goes online some time around December.
So if you dig the graphite silver, then wait a few more weeks. But if you just after the specs and the user experience of the XT1, might as well get it now and start shooting! The street price for the black XT1 is quite attractive now hehehe... Call up the usual shop to get a quote!
