If you can go to a store that has both on display, I think you will see what I felt. When I tried the red model at Best Buy, it felt like one of the more inexpensive Canon cameras. I was pleasantly surprised when my black TG-5 arrived and it felt just like my TG-2.

With battery & card, mine weighs 251.4g, which is in line with the specification.

The weight spec doesn't make notice of the colour. My guess is you were noticing the texture of the black model, against the slick finish of the shiny red camera. If they have a red one on the shelf, I'll take it in hand the next time I'm at the shop.
