White cameras....do I want one?

I'm seriously considering a  Samsung nx camera (leaning toward an nx1100 at this point) and have noticed that the nx1000, 1100, and others seem to be often priced lower if they're white. I'm wondering about keeping it clean or maybe even what to use to change the color (probably a dumb idea).  I really wanted a black camera. My wife asked why I didn't want a white camera and I realized I'm not absolutely sure why I don't want one, so I'm considering a white one (they're for sale everywhere I look, but black is harder to find).

I'd appreciate any pros or cons on the subject from owners or others who have or are considering a white bodied-camera (or why you're not considering a white camera).

I haven't owned what I'd call a "real" camera since the mid 70s, so I've spent the last few months learning about what is available and what's new. It's all changed so much but I'm beginning to understand the new basics.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I have a white NX1100, White 16mm F2.4 plus Black 30mm F2 and Black 18-200mm Zoom.

Love the camera, it is very much point and shoot profile with the (16 and 30mm pancakes) and is so light to have around the neck. Gets a lot of use from me, particularly when I'm flying my aircraft and I think my best quality photos from all my camera gear come from those primes and at such a ridiculously low price for a set of quality kit.

Not noticed any significant signs of dirtiness on the white finish despite it spending much of it's time out of it's carry case in teh 4 months I have had it.

White lenses are lower priced too. And of course there is no difference in image quality between black and white.

If I was after a camera now, I would prefer white.

I have a white NX1000 and I had similar thoughts before I bought it...

...however, at least now, I wonder why I had any doubts, because:

The white body is perceived by most as harmless, funny, nice, etc. and therefore a good choice for people photography...

My white camera was used during renovation works, with lots of dust and dirt - no problem, those things do not stick on the body.

I also feel, that it is better to have a white camera lying in the sun, than a black one...

...also, when taking night shots, it is easier to find in the dark.

-

I have to admit, that I had doubts during the unboxing and the first days,

but meanwhile I'm happy that I made this decision...

...not only because I guess that no one would steal a little, white plastic camera - no greed, no envy!

I was tossed out of a mall once by a security guard because of my old NEX red, which is red. The guard saw red, made him angry. I wasn't even shooting at the time; just had the strap around my neck with the cap off. Wouldn't have happened with my new white NX1000. I just got that 3 weeks ago for $127 with warranty. So that makes the second point about white ones being cheaper.

Did anyone see mymessage about the Olly teleconveter which is a perfect fit on the front of the 20-50 lens?

Yes, sometimes it seems to help to get a open-box camera for a very good price, like in your case...

...and I guess, that it would have helped, to show a picture of that combo, to attract answers.

Thanks, I'll do that. It's the holstein version. White camera/20-50, with black telextender.

I think, that the color of the lens need not to match the color of the white camera - a black lens on a white body is not that distracting than vice versa.

Before you buy an adaptor, you should probably ask in a dedicated thread, which one is working the best, for the NX1100, because the Canon adaptor on my NX1000 is not precise enough to push the lens detection lever deep enough.

I appreciate all the input and can't wait to use a decent digital camera.

To have real fun with the NX cameras, it is important to shoot RAW...

May be off-topic, but the best JPEG shooters I've encountered were the Fuji EXR models such as the X10. And Nikon 1's not bad.

I see. Just got the NX1000, and so have not tried RAW. But I kind of like it's JPEG renditions, too. The only fault, besides not having an EVF, is that it simply doesn't compare for night outdoors shooting, to my NEX-5R and my NEX-7. I get clear pictures with those and nothing but mud, with the NX. Is there a special setting in there that I don't know about?

On the other hand, I find it utterly brilliant for street shooting - people who react aggressively to "serious" looking gear just take a look, mentally sort you into the tourist category, and then blithely ignore you. Love it.

Yes, my NX300 "Storm Trooper", as I call it, works really well as a street camera. Nobody seems to care about it. One the other hand, with my Lumix G, draws much more attention.

Try to shoot RAW with this camera:

sharp from corner to corner - 23 mm equiv. - freehand snapshot during a stroll - 3D people on the meadow - if you view the original size version...

...and use a suited converter for high ISO shots:

NX1000 ISO 3200 for comparison with 16 MP cameras

...it is just a question of the RAW post processing.

Interesting! Maybe the mush I got at night shooting JPEGS was because I didn't use RAW. (no converter.) The NX1100 was only different from my NX1000 becausae they supplied a RAW converter with it.

My NX1000 was supplied with a RAW converter, based on Silkypix.
However, I already had Silkypix Pro at that time, because of my Sigma cameras.

Meanwhile I mostly use ACDSee Pro or RawTherapee for my files...

http://rawtherapee.com/downloads

...whereas ACDSee Pro isn't updated that often, thus I can only recommend using the free RawTherapee converter for NX RAWs - Lightroom is somehow a mixed bag and if it is not bundled with a camera, or already owned, I wouldn't recommend it also.

Intetresting. I have W. 7/64. There are so many choices with rawtherapee. How do you know which to choose?

Well anyway, thank you for that, I'm unfamiliar with Samsung cameras, "Raw Therapee," the Samsung forum and how you do things here. I'm more accustomed to some other forums and how they do things.

But in your gear list one can see that you had a NX1000:

I HAVE an X1000, just got it a few weeks ago.

However, in this thread you write, that you have a NX1000 bought three weeks ago for a unbelievable low price...

I also HAVE the Canon EF lens.My gear list keeps changing a lot so I don't even bother with it anymore.

-

...especially in regard to your claim:

"The NX1100 was only different from my NX1000 becausae they supplied a RAW converter with it."

I didn't know that, and I don't know, if it's true...

Straight from Google and dpr...DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH please.

Never had one before.

...and how obvious has a hint on a download page to be?

...beside that you wrote:

"Interesting! Maybe the mush I got at night shooting JPEGS was because I didn't use RAW. (no converter.) "

Only thing in the box was a strap, battery & charger....not even caps. The NET has no mention of a RAW converter.

...but at least my NX1000 was bundled with a converter...

...and you write, that the only difference between the NX1100 and the NX1000 was in the supply of a converter.

-

Sorry, but what you write is not really consistent...

...maybe that isn't unusal in a non Samsung forum?

In this Samsung forum, most people try to give a real advice based on facts...

Is this kind of representative of your forum? If so, maybe I'll just dump the white camera into the garbage and be done with it all. No way to treat a newbie!

I have other cameras.

...maybe not interesting for everyones needs.

I DID NOT WRITE TO YOU, BUT TO THE GROUP.

HERE IS THE PROOF YOU DEMANDED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NX1000 AND THE NX1100; I SAID THAT IT WAS A RAW PROCESSING PACKAGE! (Not believing what I said.)

"Re: NX1000 vs NX1100

In reply to mike geier, 11 months ago

The only difference I am aware of is that Adobe Lightroom is included in the NX1100 package. Unless there are other significant differences, in my opinion the NX1000 is a better buy as it is generally far cheaper, even allowing for purchase of Lightroom separately. The NX1100's price is so close to the much more advanced NX300 that you'd wonder why anyone would choose it in preference to the NX300." RIGHT FROM YOUR OWN FORUM!
