Thread: Fuji x-e1 Black vs Silver

it is a scientifically proven fact that all-black cameras produce much greater image quality than cameras with silver bits on them ...

If I were buying for myself, I'd buy the silver...because it reminds me of my first love, the Olympus OM-1. So there, Paul!

For some reason I can't put my finger on, this camera looks better to me in black.

The black probably looks better as the lens is black! Blends more with the body? I really wish I could see them side by side, but my local camera store only has black. I see your point nianys, the lack of OVF seems to affect the black less. I was surprised how light this camera is even with the kit lens compared to the OMD with kit. It looks like silver is emerging on top here.
Thanks.

Mine in Silver. Got this color because my EM5 is black.

So whats gonna happen when you buy him an adapted silver Leica lens ... like the APO-Telyt-R 1:5.6/1600mm? Don't worry about silver versus black. Don't worry about your husband. Purchase the silver and keep it for yourself. Hell, get the black and keep it for yourself.

Might just do that, get one and be done. I feel silly even stressing over the color choices, and pictures like above don't help. In the end the image that comes out is the only thing that matters right?
Must say tho' the above picture is droolworthy!
Thanks!

My first love too, except mine was black.

Probably why I prefer all black when I can get it. If anyone is giving away a silver XE1, though, I'll gladly take it off your hands.

If need-be, I'll flip a coin ... you call it.
