The price differences also occur when you try to buy used or refurbished cameras. Different sellers have different colors available and don't charge the same price. That is annoying because often I find a camera that is Prime but not "like new" or vice versa in the color I want. I wish this camera was available in the pretty purple you can get for the 340 because that would be perfect.

I think it is just supply and demand. I bought the pink one- I can ALWAYS find it in my purse :-)

I have silver and am very impressed with it, there was little difference in price when I purchased it. I could find no difference in the specs, so it must be the law of supply and demand.

They are essentially priced the same and practically do not differ that much. I had both, newer one works better for me in general (and finish-wise, black one goes better with my camera).I guess the old one becomes a collectible now :-)

Very big difference. If you have the money buy the black edition. Better Lens, more speed and capacity. Here is a chart that explains the differences. http://gopro.com/product-comparison-hero3-cameras

I bought the brown one for my parents, and will be buying one in the same color for myself. I chose the brown because of the dark contrast border that it provides when viewing the screen. Although I haven't seen the other colors in person, I am really satisfied with the brown color on the camera.

Thanks so much for the response. After much research, I know I want this camera. What a great deal, I'll order mine tonight!

Black is a neutral color so it goes with any dcor so you pay more money. I was fortunet that my Grandson likes red & could use that to save some money.

Color preference is a personal choice. A friend owns the black version, that's the first one I saw. I preferred to go with something more colorful. So, if price is what's driving your choice take it cause the sound will be the same...GREAT!

I was wondering the exact same thing! I can't even confirm a purchase because of the color, I think they used to be blue and the new versions are black and grey on the site. But is Beach Camera (which is says they're shipping from) carrying an older model or this new color? :/

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

They are all the same cameras but have different options. The price you paid is all over the place, shop around.

The /B marking is Sony's convention to say the camera has a black body, as opposed to the default silver. So, WX1/B is black and WX1 should be silver. However, at present I can't find WX1 listed anywhere, not even on the Sony site. So maybe at present it's any color you like it, as long as it's black! :-)

It really stinks - I was waiting for Black Friday to purchase and it's gone UP in price. I'm going to rethink this - maybe the D3000 which is here for $100 off. I was so ready to buy!

Sorry, I have no idea why the black model is more expensive than the red. Could be the provider of the black paint is greedier.

I noticed that my silver colored camera seemed to be thinly coated with clear lacquer that easily got nicked. The black one is most likely made of hard and durable plastic, hence the difference I price.

I think it's just maybe compatability with the camera type?I email/messaged Impossible Project about it. They said it was definitely the film's fault, not the camera's... But I don't think there's a whole lot that can be done to change it. They're old cameras and an old process, basically it's just not compatible. But the color film worked wonderfully. So, I'd say just use color film and steer clear of B&W;, even though that's kind of a bummer.
