Ya looks kinda goldish... I suppose they could bring silver cameras back and do it tastefully. wouldn't they need leather too though? then we could all be aconsted by zealots from Canon, Nikon and PETA !

The problem is theres been so much silver electronic equipment over the years people equate it with cheap plastic when it was first intended to imitate metal

I wonder if there going to intorduce some? why would anyone put a silver flash shoe cap on a black bamera body?

Think I heard something of silver A100's being sold by Jessops.

I acquired a second hand silver A100 and then added a bargain basement black one.
No regrets and very good performance with the Sony 18-250 I just bought.

I must say, it's pretty handsome in silver.

My wife usually uses the silver one as she likes the colour.
I prefer the black as it goes with the lenses.
Maybe I'll have to swap when I get the 70-400!hiccup!hiccup!hiccup!hiccup!!

I've seen the Gold Colored Sony bodies at a Sony style here. It's more silverish than gold.

Looks terrible either way.
