Hi Everybody
Maybe it´s a stupid question but... why it´s so obvious for most "pro" DSLR´s to be painted black?Not everybody is a papparazzi who must take care NOT to be seen (white is shiny!)-in other situations the sensor warming by solar radiation can still be an issue ...what about a white painted camera? Any suggestions?

Having a white K-x, I wish the K-5, which I will buy, came in white as well. Doesn't have to be shiny like the K-x, matte works fine too. Though as matte it might get dirty faster.

Ah, but aren't you often in the snow, Alexander? White is a logical choice.
I guess for me, living in Berlin, a kind of dirty grey colour would be the best idea. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />
Yes, and here in Sweden we go for blue and green to match the lakes and forests.
So, if I understand well enough, the ideal camera body really would have a chameleon skin, picking up the colours from the surroundings? I'd go with that <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />.

Painting cameras black goes back a long time. It is to keep reflections from the camera onto the subject down. Alternative finish was matt chrome. Again matt to keep reflections down. Chrome doesn't scratch so easily as black paint.

Hehe <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' /> maybe, but my lenses are still black (except the kit 18-55mm).
You are all missing the point. This century will be dominated by Asia and China, so black and white are both totally colours of the past. Yellow ought to be the colour of all cameras except those that are made in France, that should be red, white and blue <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' /> Kindly Vieux Loup

Over here camouflage colours with some red and yellow would do fine, actually <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />.
