Poll: Pick your color for the new OM-D EM-5! Black or Silver?

[dereth]

LOL... and I just decided on Silver.

Cos black is too... DSLR looking. The stealth factor is good though. But I can't get the best of both worlds. Pocket not deep enough.

I don't know if it's just me, but I felt that the silver grips better than be black. The black's small little diamond patterns seem to be more slippery than the silver's faux leather pattern.

Black is just awesome.

Actually I agree. But I juz cannot stand how it looks with a silver lens. So it's gotta be silver.

Ditto this as well...black would have been sleek IF Oly had released their m43 primes in black as well...

I chose black at first, however I was at IT show and see the real product... ... it wasn't as stunning as I thought... ... therefore at the moment I choose silver... ... when the time I'm buying the product headache will come again to choose which colour hahahahahaha

These are taken in the IT Show by using the same camera

you can understand how silver looks better with any lenses... ...

The silver feels a lot more retro and looks good with both black and silver lenses (if the silver tones match). But for a modern, discreet feel, I think black is the way to go. You can even use matt black gaffer tape to cover up the white Olympus and OM-D logos for extra stealth.

Black bodies and silver lenses look horrible in my opinion

 

[As7eroidS]

black with panasonic lens ok?

 

[As7eroidS]

[As7eroidS]

imo, silver with silver lens is hot

however the kit lens does not come with silver lens afaik, do note.

ya lo... wonder why they make 2 colors

Seems like most places silver pre-orders are out of stock! Looking at second shipment which comes in May but dun have the MMF3 bundled.

 

[Oly5050]

Its not bad...still good looking, but a little strange for me. I still prefer Silver for now.

 

[silence]

I placed my deposit at SlrR for the sliver twin kit bundle.. Hopefully won't have saga say 'don't have'..
