I'm not sure about that, but I opted for the silver GX7, and I love it.  I have the two silver Pany lenses for it - the 14-42 II and the 45-150mm lenses, and they look great on the cam.  All of my other cameras are black, with black lenses, so this time I wanted the silver as it looks a little more retro and rangefinder-like.

If you take care of your cameras like me, I think you won't regret the silver in terms of wear.  I also have a dark brown leather half case on the GX7 for added protection, and it looks outstanding.

Rest assured that some on this forum will claim that the silver is worse, but I'm not buying into that.
