Why do black bodied cameras cost more?

Answer 1

They don't always cost more. But they do seem to make the higher quality cameras with black more often, don't they? Maybe it's because people have come to associate black cameras with being the best, so it would just be tradition.

The camera body really makes no difference. It's the inside that needs to be light-tight anyway, and that's mainly just for film cameras.

Answer 2

This is funny. YEARS ago, all black was reserved for "pro" cameras and nobody questioned the added cost. Pros just didn't want to be that noticeable, so their cameras didn't have the chrome and so on of so-called "amateur" cameras. Before long, most cameras were available in both chrome and black versions. The black trim cost maybe twenty bucks more. Then, everything seemed to go all black. Shortly after that, chrome trim was re-introduced at - you guessed it - a premium price.

It's fashion and it goes in cycles like anything else.

Answer 3

The cameras made in black are usually considered "professional". An example of how this isn't necessarily true any more is the Canon Rebel XT makes two models. On the box, on is called "silver" and the other is literally called "professional black", but are identical in price.
