At least it is great to see Canon innovating. Hopefully we'll follow the success of Pentax with an ever increasing range of colours.
Innovating? Like a little kid with a full new box of crayons, eagerly looking at a bunch of blank camera drawings to color?
This "O'boy, …it's NEW!, It's DIFFERENT!" offering, similarly to the last "white" camera announced, seems to me to have been dreamed up by, and marketed towards, a Japanese teenager.
What a delight it would be to use this "thing" in bright sunshine!
Since we're repeating things in this thread, I offer again some thoughts on the appropriateness of a "dark" camera in your face:
"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, when you want 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".)"
And someone else says "Lucky Brits"? Really?
