What I find interesting/funny is that many years ago you paid extra to get a black camera body and the non black/silver edition was considered base! A 'sign of a pro' was the wearing away of the black coating and the subsequent brassing spots that appeared at the highly used areas of the camera body.
I wonder what caused the switch in higher pricing for the silver? -----Original Message----- >From: Jens <[email protected]> >Subject: K-3 Silver > >Hi >Some guy at Flickr said that he wanted the silver version, without the grip, >which he didn't need.
