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?

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)

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

The missing word in your post...Erotic!!

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!!

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.

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.

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

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.
