Black OMD and paint problems

I got the silver one because my E-P2 paint started to show scratches after 18 months use. I'm not complaining - I just think silver stands up to wear better.

However you should know that the silver E-M5 isn't all silver. The flash shoe, LCD panel, back plate and top of the body (under the top plate) are all black. Not to mention the dials. That adds up to quite a few black edges. They do seem tough though.

So I'd say get whichever looks better to you.
