If it was white, it'd look cheap to me, even if the build quality is the same. Maybe I've just become accustom to it being black, idk. Canon 50D {Gripped} | 20D | 580EX II

Jan 16, 2009 22:45 | #19 I feel like a white camera would look cool just because it's different than what we're used to seeing. Might also look like a 'toy' almost. If it goes white, would it also go silver, blue, red, purple..etc? Black just gives the camera a professional look. I don't think I would take a wedding photographer seriously if I saw him w/a blue camera body lol (a bit extreme, I know, but you get my drift) lol 40d | 10-22mm | 28-135mm | 50mm 1.8II | 430exII | 7500tm tripod | filters, bags, books and a very long wishlist.

Quick edit out of curiosity. But does it look attractive to you..?  Like I said before, I'm picky. And I know if they did make a white camera, it would look 100x better than this...but like the poster above me said, black just looks more professional. Of course, if the white camera took much better pictures, and it only came white...I'd take it...but if I had the option, I'd go with black. Canon 50D {Gripped} | 20D | 580EX II

How about Canon makes a camera body that is dedicated....truly dedicated...to the photographer. Listens to every input from "the field". (add YOUR input here) When all the engineering is done, it's YOUR perfect camera body. And when it's done....it's white. A meld with those coveted lenses you see on the sidelines....
