I'm the type of guy who since childhood could never wear anything white because I always find a way to smudge within minutes of putting it on (I've always felt an affinity to Pig-Pen for some reason
). I decided to get a white Q along with my original black body so I could easily differentiate between them, figuring that if the white panels got grimy too quickly, I'd change them out with some skins that I had already purchased. When I got it, I kinda liked the white so the skins have gone unused (so far), and to my great surprise, the white panels have not been a problem -- and the white Q is my daily carry camera with the 01 prime or 03 FE, so it's always in a pocket. If it stays clean for me, then, I suspect that it will stay clean for just about anyone.
