I want the white version also, tell me about the discoloration. I hadn't heard about that, makes sense though. I'm planning on getting the N. American version as I can't find the white version here(Belgium).

It's my expectation that it will eventually discolour. Still far too new a body for anyone to already experience it yet.

Have you heard about other Canon white bodies discoloring? (You originally mentioned it being a "Propensity").

I haven't seen it in any of my "white" lenses yet BTW.

Mine does get dark fingerprints on it occasionally when I'm outdoors and have a bit of dirt or grime on my hands. I've searched the internet for discoloration in Canon white bodies, but haven't found anything conclusive yet. However it is difficult to believe that a light coloured plastic will keep its original colour forever without developing some sort of patina; this isn't a coating, it's the actual colour of the plastic.

I'm assuming your white lenses are L ones? They're more of a dark grey and they're paint on a metal surface, which for the most part you won't handle much; certainly not as much as a camera body.
