Does body colour matters?

[Ichibawa]

Saw in a few B&S thread. Does the colour of the body matter to you? What if the camera is silver and not black in colour?

 

[ndroo]

No it doesn't matter. I'd even buy one if it comes in pink!

It's personal preference... but generally, black tends to sell better cuz it looks more PRO...

I like my body colour fair and my hair black, so far nothing to complain about.

Some prefer the seriousness of black and not silver. Just a matter of preference.

Thats why. The perception that black has a more professional look.

1. preference
2. battery grips dont come in matching silver
3. black heats up quicker under the sun
4. resale value

Does black have a higher resale value compared to silver? Like oriental cars vs continental cars?

 

[LiOnElLiN]

It is probably due to this same perception that there is more demand for black bodies and thus the increased price

Thats why. The perception that black has a more professional look.

camouflage =D

since they say that red is the fastest colour, maybe there should be a red option for sports photographers? =P

 

[Astin]

I still dont understand why camera companies make black lens and silver body, they look unmatched when mate together.

Same for Nikon, a limited edition Nikon film body plated in gold. Saw it at Center Point.

black colour tends to endure better over time/use/wear.
Silver sometimes fade or change colour.

Just a personal thought.

actually...come to think about it, that may not be such a bad idea?
