Gee, thanks Chuck. Something else to consider :)
When I got my first OM, it was a Silver OM-2n. They were more common and
cheaper than the black body. After years of fighting a mirror lock-up
problem on that one I finally gave in and got a Black 2n to replace it. So
when I started considering the E-M5, black was my only consideration. But
now you've got me thinking about that Silver E-M5. Thanks Chuck! :)

Subject: [OM] Question for those who have actually handled an E-M
Do you own or have preferences for the silver or black body and why? I
normally prefer a black bodied camera but (it's very strange and I can't
explain why) when I look at the unusual pattern of the material covering the
black body it strikes me as something I don't want to even touch.
The conventional pebbled leatherette of the silver body looks more "normal"
and inviting to touch.
Anyone have any similar comments or feelings... or am I just weird?
Enlarge the images below for a close look at the "skin".
Silver
