Black vs. Silver?

[BrandonT]

Wondering what some of your choices are and the reason. I think I'm going to get the black. It'll match better with other video DSLRs and honestly, I'm worried the silver might look "less professional" up against other guys with their Canons who might already be judging the camera by its size.

Thoughts?

Black generally looks cooler for all pieces of video equipment. Since Panny's aren't known for ever overheating there's no practical reason to go either way. If some other colors were thrown in you'd have the option of standing out in a crowd, but those are both somewhat generic. I'm holding out for red with black trim.

I guess if I had to think of something practical it would be that black won't reflect hard lights onto your subject, but my c-stands are all shiny and they work fine.

Ohh, red and black would look nice!

Meant to post this in general.. could someone move it?

I chose silver because I have a black GH1. This allows me to easily distinguish the two.

Hey...new market for GH "skins". Leopard skin anyone? Hello Kitty? But a good thng to see the least expensive way to deck out a VDSLR to maintain "pro" look. A stupid but real issue in terms of marketing.

I'd be happy with silver if I could get one, it would go well with my Hv20's.
