why is the black model more expensive than the white one??

Just guessing that the black model is more popular as it won't show dirt?..so higher price works for Samsung.? Great pics!

Is the black one in higher demand? Is the white camera you are comparing a samsung galaxy 2?

Supply and demand. Many of the 'Big Box' outlets and online stores are running low on inventory or are sold out of the black model. Even Samsung .com (direct) has reduced it's price incentives, extended protection warranty promotion and memory give-away (quality). It goes to reason that if there's less demand for the white one and they can get more $$$ for the black model, why wouldn't they (want to) line their pockets (and sell a few white ones to boot)? I ordered one there last week with a $50 price reduction, 2 year extended service policy and a 32gb, class 10 EVO card for $399 with available free shipping. Now the $50's gone, no ESP and a cheaper card. Costco currently has the best deal going with $50 off, 16gb card and a case (NOTE: While supplies last) till 6/14/14.

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

It's a marketing gimmick. Like when the Wii was released in different colors. There is no other difference beyond the color, but it's enough of a difference that Logitech can charge a premium for it. I have the black one and it made a huge difference in gaming. I recommend that one instead unless you have a white computer case and keyboard.

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.

As far as I have been able to find out with light research, Logitech is probably trying to get more money for the same product just different color and call it a special. I doubt the cost is actually increased or any real reason beyond that.I personally wouldn't want a white mouse though, simply because black hides dirt and grime better. But a white mouse would probably prompt more frequent cleanings.

Yeah, now the price is just insane. Even the Olympus site, which clearly shows both the white and black model by the product description only shows "black" under the color option drop down. This is just like the iPhone 4 fiasco, I don't get it.

I believe the only difference is in the color, as I had the exact same question. Seems like some colors cost more than others.

I havnent noticed a difference in either of them. My guess is, solid black appeals to the majority of consumers than a bright orange, so they're charging more for the item with the most demand to make more money.

I have the white one. I don't know about other colors. It's probably just a color difference.

CORRECTION: there is no difference between the black and the white, it is not a "gimmick" as Lee states; prices on Amazon are very often tied to the supply of a particular product, and the corresponding demand.

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.

Mine is a sort of off white. There are similar models available in black as well.

If you mean the old model is more expensive, I believe 1.) it is harder to find for sale 2.) There are a lot of notes indicating the older model may have come from a time when the quality of the units were actually better. 3.) I am going to purchase an older model because I do not need high resolution, I want quality, and I am connecting to XP.

The original model had cost around $40. It appears that the newer model has been "cost reduced" (I have to leave that research up to other Amazon customers since I do not have the new one). From pictures, the new model appears to look cheaper.

I have the white version, I paid a lot more for mine, I would say the $19.00 is a good bargin

I wonder why the less expensive one is less expensive...are the differences in feel, materials, quality and/or size?

This model has two different color options - silver & white. I am not sure if black model is available on Amazon.
