I notice the black version of the X100V can scratch fairly easily so you can see the brass colored body underneath the paint job. Does the silver version scratch easily as well and does the silver version also have a brass body or is it silver underneath? The brass color is quite noticeable with the black body.

How can a scratched black (or silver) X100V body show a brass color underneath when the top and bottom plates are pressed aluminum? Can you post damage photos showing a brassy color?

Actually you’re right. I believe it was silver color underneath. I shipped it back to get it replaced, so I can’t take a photo of it. I did notice some people on YouTube showing some brass edges from natural wear though. Either way, I guess it’s more noticeable with black because of the contrasts between colors.
