No longer a newbie, moving up!
I've always been taken aback by the change in camera colors. The first black cameras were just painted black and the work "pro" always preceded the the word "black" in the description. Now they are black plastic. For some reason, pros were supposed to get black ones and amateurs silver ones, I guess. It was so successful, virtually all serious cameras are now black so the fashion changed completely.
Strangely, I always thought of black as a bad color for a camera. Instead of brassing we got chips in the paint that looked worse than the brassing and we got brassing just the same. Also black absorbs more sunlight so the camera will actually get warmer than a silver one on a sunny day. It seems to me it should be the other way around. Black should be for amateurs and silver for pros. If gave a hoot I would do something about it but I don't care at all.
