Too late; moments after availability of the black version became known, the price of second-hand silver ones dropped to 49p. :P

converted to Can$ that makes it over a dollar .. waaay too expensive

Why is the choice always limited to silver or black?
Didn't Leica or someone fancy make an olive drab/khaki SLR in the '80s ?

What about an off-white body to match all our Lenses?

Leica did, and Canonhad an OD F-1

You can order Leicas with your choice of about 9 different types of leather (including Ostrich) and various colours... I think they'll even engrave them.


Funny... it doesn't seem to make the photos any better.

Is there anything different (i.e., new features) about the new black rebel other than the color??

Actually, it makes it a rare collectable, manufactured for a limited time and destined to go up in value.

Buy one now. You may be able to sell it in 20 years, and retire off the proceeds.

In fact, if you'd like to make me an offer for my silver Digital Rebel, feel free. I'd probably be willing to let it go for less than a 50% premium over the cost of a new, ordinary black one.

White? It's been done before...

Who remembers this: http://staffi.lboro.ac​.uk …ography/photo/m​in8000.htm

The rather bizarre WHITE Minolta 8000i - hmmm... maybe I'm showing my age here!

A black body will improve those nighttime star shots. No longer will the starlight reflected off the silver body mess up the exposures. Say goodbye to the 0.0000000000000001 stop exposure compensation.

One thing I noticed is that camera is marketed and labelled as the 300D not the digital rebel which is probably a USA name only.

Black Rebel is now available in Canada too. Henry's has them for the same
price as a 'Silver Back'.

I must confess, I was seriously looking at the D70 for a couple of reasons.
One was cosmetics, one was the better kit lens, etc.

Now I am drawn back to the dRebel at Henry's W/17-85 USM IS EF-S for the
same price as the D70. Hmmm. Looks like the Canon again.
