Why the significant price spread between the white and black models? Aren't they the exact same cameras?

As far as I know they are the same. When I purchased mine they were the same price.

They are the same camera. B is for black. Some places just list it one way or the other.*Edit*- Looks like the answer has been covered.

Hey, I don't know where you live, but I just bought mine in black on 9/10 here in NYC. By the way, I've been waiting for Amazon to have this camera too. I pre-ordered both of them (black and silver), and never received an email saying that they were finally available to purchase. So, I took things into my own hands and found it myself. The camera is the BEST camera I've ever tried! I recently bought the fx500 from panasonic and the fujifilm f100. And before those two, I was a canon powershot sd500 owner. I can go into more detail, but I thought you would like to know of something I wrote on the forum page for the LX3 on photographyblog.com: Hey y'all, Sorry it has taken me a long while to respond to this little discussion, but just yesterday 9/10/08, I FINALLY bought the LX3 in black here in NYC at a family run Jewish store called 17thstreetphoto in the Photography district in NYC. I spoke with a super friendly man named Doug who told me that they got the silver and black ones 2 days ago from yesterday. they have 50 each. So, I went down there and immediately bought one. They have a 7 days no questions asked return policy so I'm trying it out like a crazy man. I attached the website. Keep in mind that if you mention the fact that on EBAY they have the price listed at $475, they will honor it in the store even though they have it priced at $499. Any questions ask me. But the purchasing experience with them was excellent.

that's simply a stupid question. Cost not being a factor, there are a great many Canon cameras that "outclass" anything from Sony.

The more expensive one is from Amazon and the cheaper one is from another vendor selling through amazon. The cheaper one also comes with a flex strap for attaching the camera to certain things. They are both the same it just looks like the amazon price went back up after blackfriday and this other vendor kept it the same.

As far as I have been able to find out with light research, Logitech is probably trying to get more money for the same product just different color and call it a special. I doubt the cost is actually increased or any real reason beyond that. I personally wouldn't want a white mouse though, simply because black hides dirt and grime better. But a white mouse would probably prompt more frequent cleanings.

No! Both cameras definitely have to be identical, and I think for this setup they both have the be twos.

Hi, thanks for your questions. The Product Page shows that this camera and kit is being sold in new condition by 8 sellers. You can see this to the right of the product picture, it shows "8 new from $574.00 1 used from $729.00." According to the product picture, this camera comes in black, but you may wish to contact one of the sellers to ask about the availability of other colors. I hope this helps!

There is white, black, and silver edition, they are all a little different with one color being better and the next step up from the other although I do not fully know what the differences are. I would look at the descriptions of all three to see what model most fits your needs.

There's no difference other than the color of the camera. This is just the way Amazon does things. :)

the ones I got are black. I wouldn't be surprised if they offered white. Would be a better question to ask of Foscam.

Chances are if it IS cheaper anywhere else, it's being sold from an unreliable retailer. I had a rather frustrating experience with one such retailer in buying my Rebel XT -- they pulled a bait-and-switch on me. If you want to look for a retailer selling for less, I would advise you to read the reviews for that retailer, sorted by lowest rating first.

the black or white versions are not different, but the price changes... I guess it depends on the demand. I am not sure what you mean by old version. This is the same one I got. It has the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture and M7 motion coprocessor. The A7 and M7 make it much faster then the Apple mini.

If your talking about the same identical camera I found that different companies charge based on supply and demand. Suggest finding out the MFR price before buying at the companies selling price.

The reason this one is much cheaper is that it is a white box item. WB items are part of a kit that is being sold separately. For instance, this lens used to be part of a kit along the Canon 5D mkII (the kit costs less than the camera plus the lens when sold separately). Sometimes, this kits are split up, the camera is sold "body only" and the remaining lens is sold "lens only". The merchant gets more money than by selling the kit, and the customer pays less for each individual item on a white box than he would've paid for a lens meant and packed to be sold as a standalone item The reason this one is much cheaper is that it is a white box item.

Black are higher capacity for continuous use, I.E. gaming controllers and cameras. White is great for remote controls.

This is just a temporary premium for those who REALLY REALLY want the white camera now. The situation is literally equivalent to saying that you'll get an $400-$500 discount for waiting an unknown period of time. If you don't mind the uncertainty and delay just wait until more are available as the price will then be bid down again.
