They like making "special editions" or titanium, or gold versions of cameras, even for not so special cameras like K-7, K-r, and now the Q.

It is a tough call for me too. I have a rare all black OM-1n, several lens, etc. All black. Black was considered the rarest choice, if you could find one back in the day (had Om's since the early 80's and still perfectly functional, the all black one was a trade several years ago, pristine condition, lucky find). So me too, it's tough call. I think the silver harkens back to the standard, but black was, back when, the rarity, and far less produced. Try to find an all black OM-1n, and you'll see what I mean. What that means today, I have no idea, except greater value for a black one.

But I decided on the silver one.
Silver lenses are a big reason, also I like the leatherette much better..

I just checked you out, you're really quite a prick. No worries, I won't waist my time to respond to you again.
Frankly, you should be banned as I see it.
No Idea. Ordered the silver, but maybe now thinking black. Just for the grip match.
Polish joke, but we have had enough tensions in these threads. Seriously, where did you see this Polish review?

Black is the better colour, it is more discreet.
However, black is common now, and plastic cameras are mostly black. It's also easy to cover an alloy body with black, but its very difficult to do the reverse (ie black to silver).
So ... I like the idea of the camera shouting "metal"! Most smaller DSLR cameras are plastic, aren't they! And they are normally black. And el cheap Nikon 3100, or a Canon, DSLR, they are plastic, and black!
And -- a quality question - is the black colour applied via an anodised electrical process, or is it a horrible, scratchable paint?? Like the Pen black is applied?
To confuse things, the Fujifilm X-100 limited edition, is black ... !!!! And they say it looks very "cool"!

That is BADASS.
It would look something like this. With apologies to Digital Trends ( http://www.digitaltrends.com/photography/olympus-om-d-e-m5-first-impressions/ ).

I'm pretty sure that was all just psychological. But I do like the look of the leatherette better than the geometric pattern on the black body.
