Silver vs Black Just why the black one costs more?

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.

I think Amazon is playing with the prices. Now the black is $4 less than the silver $257 vs $261.

There was no Silver available when I bought mine, but based upon the specs, I would say there is no difference other than appearance.

Its the finish, black is more expensive, also it may come with the canvas cover.

I had both the black one and the silver one....both are the same. Depends on what color you want. The silver one is the first edition...so you might be able to get a better deal. I liked the black one because it matched every thing I had better. Both operates exactly the same. Be aware you will need to adjust the pedal switch to operate correctly on either one. See YouTube

I don't believe so. I bought blue and I think they were more money than the black. Pricing may be based on popularity of the colors.

I'm not sure why you didn't just order it from JR.com through amazon marketplace - I ordered just a few days ago and mine will be here tomorrow. (it's silver of course - black is at least 100 more and sold out too) -- anyway, I paid 399, free shipping...

There's no difference in quality -- the prices just seem to fluctuate for no reason. $17.99 is a great deal for the black, though -- thanks for the head's up! I just ordered three of them!

As far as I know, it's only a cosmetic difference. I have the silver version, and have no personal experience with the black "special edition," so take my comments with a grain of salt. You may want to do some more online research just to be sure.

In my opinion the additional $70 for the Gold over the Silver is worth it. Basically, what the Gold has that the Silver does not is the LCD timer, the larger work table and the charcoal bin. These are all simply convenience items but I use them all.

They are exactly the same. The prices fluctuate based on Amazon.com's weird price structuring. Right now the black one is less. But it goes up and down and from time to time these sell out then are restocked.

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.

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

We purchased the silver diamonds for our son and it's neutral in my opinion. I like it better than the solid black.

Typically when more sellers are in a listing the competition gets to be more competitive. They are all the same quality the black one just happens to be a bargain. Hope that helps.

I've had mine for 3 months already. To answer your question I think the black shows less wear than the silver one. A friend of mine introduced me to this product and he had the silver one. Although it looks sleek and cool, since it has brighter color than black I could easily see dirt and some wear on it. With the black, even with wear and tear its not that easily seen. I hope this helps.

I bought mine last month, and it's black and silver. I think it's the new one.
