You bring up another point that I was discussing with someone recently. I wanted his opinion of which K-30 color to pick: Blue or Black (although I actually like the white one too). The blue one is proving to be very hard to resist; however, I fear it might be a "trendy" color, and
may, therefore, someday look very dated --
or not. Traditional black seems never to get old and is, by default, the more "professional-looking" color (will the K-5's replacement come in colors other than black and silver? it's hard to imagine, but one never knows in this increasingly "almost anything goes" day and age).
In short, I'm having a heck of a time making up my mind. I presently intend to play it safe and go with black (after all, I want to buy one to take pictures, not to stare at the camera itself). But playing it safe seems to be a rather dull prospect when the alternative is so attractive. Why on earth did Pentax have to make an otherwise easy decision much harder than it should have been?
I am reminded of the following old TV commercial, except the people in it get to have both for the price of one.
