Next thing you know, Canon will be offering their rebels in every colour like they did their P&S line in order to garner more sales.

Actually, you're a bit late to the party…

Where is the pink one?

See, that's what I don't get . . . I think it looks fine; I wouldn't mind a 5Dmk3 in that color . . . maybe even prefer it (as long as it's the same build quality)

I have to agree. I actually don't mind the colour. If they released a 5D3 and maybe the 24-70 f4 kit in white i would buy it.

Sure its going to get dirty but then again black cameras don't tend to stay "out of the box" black for very long either.

It will nicely match with the 600mm II.

Funny, first thing I thought of was The Empire Strikes Back.

Wow, the cheapest and smallest white lens for eos line! :

If Canon is after the customer who used to buy point and shoot cameras, then offering DSLR's in multiple colors makes a LOT of sense!

Well, judging by their most recent marketing ads, you are correct about that.

Note all the stories are from women. :-*

I have an SL1 and I love it. A great alternative when I don't want to schlep the 5D3.

I actually like the white. I bought the EOS M in white when it went on sale.

Now if you want to see a really ugly color for a DSLR and lenses, check out this custom painted Nikon setup.

Looks a lot like my wee waterproof Sure Shot A1

If this was a weathersealed 'L' version of the 100D/SL1, then I would be interested.

 

[mrsfotografie]

So far, no announcement in Europe. No 100D in white.

And you are familiar with this color because…? ???

Okay, I'll ask:
Why are cameras black, anyhow?

Cameras that used film needed black bodies to better protect the sensitized film, against stray light Since pretty much all the pros were using black colored bodies, black became synonymous with "professional" .... This just continued on to the digital world ... also, black generally is considered "professional" even in other fields e.g. wearing a black suit is generally considered "serious and professional" ... but I don't think any technical aspect stops manufacturers from producing colored DSLR's, other than the fact that most people will not opt for colored DSLRs ... I know I would never buy a white, pink, green etc DSLR bodies ... so I suppose it is just a marketing decision now.

When you are trying to look at a limited scene within a broader field, having the "surround" (camera body) darker than the target scene( viewfinder, LCD, etc.) is much easier on the eye than having the scene surrounded with a glaring bright field.

A glossy-finish pure white makes just such a reflective glaring border around what you are trying to view with the least possible interference to your vision.

Consider the dark shields around color-critical monitors for accurate viewing while doing color evaluation that really matters.

Is a bright shiny white object directly in your view something that you want to be trying to look through or around?

To my jaded eye, this white camera smacks of something that would/will appeal to the cutesey pre-teen plastic-is-fantastic crowd. (as someone noted above, …think "Hello Kitty".)

I think this is a camera for apple-user...useless, but white

Ok, just kidding... I like the idea of a 40mm 2.8 STM L, maybe I'll get one and make a red ring onto it.

Okay, so there must be more to this white thing than we in the west understand.
