I spent all day today at Eastern Creek raceway in Western Sydney under a
very hot summer sky. After 4 hours straight with no shade you wouldn't have
believed the heat coming off the black camera body, by contrast, the 300/2.8
with its white finish (but more surface area)was holding half the amount of
heat. For plenty of real life working situations I think Canon got it
absolutely right. I don't really understand the ongoing preoccupation with
lens colour - white is practical for outdoor work but other than that - who
cares?

nb: I'm always impressed at what these bodies can cope with and still
function perfectly
