Black is stylish!....for funerals and galas maybe
but not everyone shoots those kind of events. Cheap looks is the new trend....I see many millionaires wearing Timex watches nowadays...meanwhile the aspiring rest are buying Pateks, Panerais and Cartiers.
OK I'm kidding and if you're a pro and are getting paid for an event, of course you can't show up with a pink or yellow camera (might affect your credibility a bit). Imagine if every house or building in your town was the same color (wait, that kind of reminds me of where I live)..but you get the idea. In Japan if you don't conform and buy the same car color as everyone else, you become a social outcast so there are many aspects to picking the right color
I for one whenever I traveled and saw someone with another white DSLR I knew they were Pentaxians; the smiles and solidarity we felt, were priceless!
