Is it funny camera in white color ???

i just want something diff at the movement
,has anyone in here gentleman using white camera :1247:
 
This is a personal choice. It will have no affect on the function of the camera.

One thing to think about though is how well will white wear after a year or two?

this is/>> plastic white mix silver

Why not, the white looks cool with the silver lens. I would get one. In fact I bid on a white camera, but lost the bidding.
My P&S is royal blue.
I saw a guy with a red Nikon D5400.
I get what I want, I don't care about what someone else thinks.
It is YOUR camera, you get what YOU want.

As long as the color is in the plastic, and not paint, you are OK.
The black bodies of the past was black PAINT on a brass base. So when the paint was scratched through, you would see the orange/yellow color of brass.
Metalized plastic will do similar. When the metalized coating is scratched through, you will see the base plastic.

If you want to give someone a practical reason, tell them that white reflects solar light/heat, black absorbs the solar light/heat. So the inside of a white camera won't get as hot as the inside of a black camera. But the body is plastic, and plastic is a heat insulator, so the practical effect is probably minimal.

Sounds interesting, I never thought about the matter like this. Yes, I saw some white cameras those are pretty much gorgeous than black. Also, some of them are the combination of white and black. Such as the Fujifilm FinePix SL240 white.
 
Black every time, you do not want to draw attention to yourself...
 
I go with blk - i think later on if i buy lens saparate will match camera =

canon doesnt sale white lens color much
 
Many of the L series lenses are white.
But they are rather expensive lenses.

How cool would it be to have a white body + white L lens :)

I wonder when Canon will start making L series bodies in white, to match their white L lens.
 
It is up to you. The color of the camera won't generally effect the photos it makes. However, a white camera will get hotter in sunlight. People assume that black absorbs more heat. It does, and it does not. Dark colors-like black-absorb more INFRARED light, and reflect away more ultraviolet light. Lighter colors-like white-absorb more ULTRAVIOLET light, and less infrared light. Infrared light is hot, but Ultraviolet light is HOTTER than infrared light...so white is hotter in sunlight. That is why desert dwellers wear so many dark colors...black, brown, etc. They are cooler. A hotter camera-which a white one would be-will be less comfortable to hold, and may overheat, which can lead to malfunctions.
 
My Nikon 1 S1 is white. It stays in a bag, or pocket, until I am ready to shoot with it. My Nikon D7200 is black, as are most of the lenses I use on it. Those I often wear around my neck.
 
Make your own decision.
 
My Nikon 1 V2 is white, I was sick of black black and more black, I just hope the white plastic does not go yellow with age like a lot of white plastic does.
