Default White EP1 Owners

Hi

I would like to know whether the white paint will turn yellowish or less white after a couple of years use?

I'm asking because a white EP3 looks really really tempting

Thanks

My original pre-ordered E-P1 before they were available was supposed to be white with a 17mm pancake lens. Unfortunately, those kits never arrived in Canada... at all. So eventually I had to settle for the silver E-P1 with kit zoom. I ended up liking that finish so much that I can't imagine liking the white one as much.

I can't speak to longevity, but I will warn you that it doesn't look great with black lenses (and so many lenses only come in black!). That being said, I love my white PEN.
