Why current silver DSLRs make people want to vomit
The Rebel and Rebel XT. Very rare Nikon D50s and Olympus E-500s.
What they all share is a stigma in cameras that in humans is akin to leprosy. Silvered plastic. It looks so awful and cheezy that only the lowest forms of life (bottom barrel pocketable P&Ss) wear it like a badge of honour. However, mark my words. If Canon or Nikon released a metal bodied DSLR with a silver finish like the old FE or AE-1s SLRs, it would cause a sensation. IMO, it could possibly outsell black. |

You really need to fade to black. |

Nikon also made the "FA" in silver or black. IIRC the black ones were polycarbonate and better than the silver ones which were ABS. I had a silver one - and it's the only plastic camera I've owned where the plastic cracked. I should have bought the other plastic one. |

The Hasselblad H3D cameras have a similar silver finish - I think it looks classy. However, mark my words.

So are you saying that this silver finish is attractive? (This could be a first, folks - a RichA redirection/misdirection maneuver in the OP.) Speaking of metal with a silver finish ... you're tin foil beanie needs adjusting. And while some may try to convince you there is a stigma associated with wearing one, don't let that dissuade you. Remember: the shiny side should point out. TR |

Why don't you actually buy a camera so maybe you'll have half of a clue? |

The color of the camera is irrelevant when you attach a big white L-series Canon lens. -- Len |

Why current silver DSLRs make people want to vomit
I did not buy my Rebel because it is silver. In fact, I did not buy a
new Tundra truck because it is silver, although I may not have bought it if it were pink. Apparently, silver is currently in vogue. Hi ho silver! |

Are you seriously saying you leave your camera lying around in the sun long enough for UV exposure to become a greater heating issue than actual air temperature? Geesh man get a grip on something that resembles reality. |
