Your new OM-D will be...

[Taija71A]

You are confusing dedicated OM users with Apple fanboys/girls.

Will... I didn't get anything confused.
My original comment was 110% 'Tongue-in-cheek!' 🙂

Does this mean that you will or will not (no pun intended) be buying one?

Are you saying that 'Dedicated' OM users wouldn't touch the new OM-D... "With a Ten Foot Pole?"

The chrome matches better...

The chrome matches better...

...with my M.Zuiko 12mm f/2 and 45mm f/1.8 µ4/3 glass.

Moreover, the combination of black leather with a chrome finish means the body will go rather well both with my gray my black lenses.

...Black or Chrome?

the ultimately question of all camera enthousiasts... 😉

Almost three times more black than chrome fans. So if the OM-D becomes a collectors item 50 years from now, it's better to buy a chrome one.

back to the somewhat original topic:
I voted black... but I saw a chrome one when the Oly rep was in the shop yesterday.
It's MUCH nicer looking in real life than in the photos, and I would probably go with that over the black.

It is nowhere near as good-looking as the original OMs, but if I had to choose one, I'd take black.

(there's something about the shape of the prism that gets to me -- can't put it into words)

 

[RealXenuis]

try "obtrusive" . Disproportionate. Pointy. Just some suggestions. Though I'd go with black as of right now.

Maitani designed some of the most erotic camera bodies imaginable. The prism on the OM-1 was pure eros.

That was the word RealXenius was reaching for and falling short of as well. Some people just can't face or admit what really turns them on.

Me.... I know what gives me a raging.................well!!

HIYOOO! Hey too each his own. Godspeed, and many more happy camera mounds to you!

I usually prefer chrome cameras. I just hate the look of the chrome EM-5, with the black panda dials. Wish the black was more a crinkle/magnesium alloy look, but oh well. For that I'll have to wait for the E-1 retro makeover.

 

[pachuco]

Black - and I hope I will enjoy it even half as much as I do my OM-1. As a side note - if I screw in the hot shoe on my OM-1, it also creates a rather unsightly prism bump so I'm kinda used to it.

 

[BMacW]

I ordered a silver one ONLY because I'm getting the 12mm and the 45mm lens. And those only come in silver

 

[Texsport]

Black, and with the correct features and good enough image quality for my wife's family photos and videos + a useful 2X Magnification factor for my favorite bird lens, the Olympus OM 350/2.8.

[fireblade]
