I purchased the black model and it has a coarse sand paper like finish/texture on the the camera body. Does the white model have this finish as well?

My white camera has a smooth finish, not the sort you're describing. But mine also had the dreaded lens error problem a year and a half later.

No, whiyte is piano White. Besides, actually this finish is usually put for giving cameras a SLR-like feel.

Hello, I clean mine with soft tissue only. As you said, this camera was built to endure roughness. I'm pretty happy with its performance. I hope to have helped. Regards from Brazil. :)

probably due to demand for black being higher. the silver looks cheap & too much like a toy. silver electronic gadgets have been a pet peeve of mine. the black is more elegant and conveys a seriousness to it, and this camera has some serious features for taking great photos.

Hi Fred, Did some searching, and according to "Digital Camera Info" web site, the body is "heavy" and made of metal, but it doesn't specify what the metal is. It has a "leather-like" texture to it. I've enjoyed your reviews, so wanted to help out if I could. ;-)

Yes. You actually get a choice of "regular" monochrome which mimics black and white film images or dynamic black and white (which makes very black blacks and very white whites). You get to the first kind of b&w; through the menu or quick menu. The more dramatic version you get through using the color or paint palette section of the dial on the top of the camera where you choose iA or Program or Aperture preferred, etc.

The finish looks good to me. I think you're noticing that the pictures were taken with a less than perfect camera. :)

Yes it is a matte black finish. The GIVI cases are very durable. I personally have used a E52 model for 7 years with minimal wear.

As far as I can tell it's just cosmetic. I have the black model and a friend uses the silver, can not tell any difference in performance.

No, the latest version comes in white with some clear parts. Everything will need to be painted. There are decals that can be used to cover the model, but they work best over a painted surface.

Like the others have said, mine is a full flat grind. The only thing I'm not really that crazy about is the finish--it has a feel similar to sand paper. I'm new to this kind of finish, so I'm not truly sure what the advantages of this are. You can always sand it down with fine grit sand paper, or remove it with some paint stripper if you so desire.

I have the mate black one. It is made of plastic. From the pictures the white does not seem to have the problem the mate black has.

I'm not sure if i understand your question, it's a bit vague. Are you asking what the difference is between the colors or the actual camera models? I have the all white 7s model. I don't own any other models, but i believe the difference between the different models would be the size of the actual camera, the colors, and the different photo modes. There are some that take bigger film and the 7s takes wallet sized photos.

I bought some 80lb white half fold greeting card paper and it works great but it does not have a glossy finish. It is a Matte type finish.

Sorry Bill, I got the black model. I'm afraid I cannot answer your question. Gil

The black version is not glossy. It does seem to have a sort of glossy feeling on the sides but even that is not much. So to sum up, it is mostly not glossy.

They are essentially priced the same and practically do not differ that much. I had both, newer one works better for me in general (and finish-wise, black one goes better with my camera).I guess the old one becomes a collectible now :-)
