I found a difference in the build quality between the red and black models with the latter appearing to be much more solid.

I haven't seen the black model, but are you saying that the black is truly more solid? It would seem that they should be both made from the same materials. Is it perhaps a mind set where black, in any camera, is more elegant looking. I think so, as all my cameras are black, except the TG-5. To get a deal from Costco, I had no choice but to go with the red model. I would have preferred the black as it is a lot more discreet looking, especially if you are planning on using it for street shooting. The red model stands out like a sore thumb. But, the the reason for purchasing it in the first place was for my wife's trip back home.

I doubt there's  much of a difference, but if someone posts the weight of a red cam without battery, card, or any accessories, I'll do the same with my black in a few minutes.
