The body color does not enhance the performance but enhances my feelings.
This setup could have been the one. This camera went through many rolls with travels. Never had to change batteries (CR2 3-Volt Lithium Batteries). Hangs not too heavy nor too light.
film:
Kodak Portra 160
Kodak Tri-x 400
Compatible with seven exceptional G-mount lenses ranging from 16 to 90mm, including a 35-70mm zoom lens
The small distance between the film plane and the lens mount allows for superior wide-angle performance with lowered distortion than comparable professional SLR lenses of the same focal lengths
Quiet autofocus and shutter operation
Extended baseline on a hybrid autofocus system
Improved manual focus wheel feel & location
Larger, brighter viewfinder than the G1, which presents parallax correction more clearly
