Does red colored DSLR makes you look bad?

I was wondering if people actually going to buy those red colored DSLR. Because I personally bought one Nikon D3100 in red. Will black colored DSLR actually makes you look more professional? And using a red colored DSLR don't? It has nothing to do with photography skills. Just based on people's point of view. Will it actually makes you looks un-pro?

You won't look very professional with a d3100 anyway… So… At the end of the day your pictures make you look professional, not your camera but I guess you already know that.
I really like the design though and I do also like the red body of it… I just prefer a more professional camera in general.

So what if other people think that you'd look un-pro? It's all a matter of personal preference. If you like a red one, then go for it! I think it would look awesome.

What your images look like has all to do with your skills using a camera

Most pros use black cameras because they do not draw as much attention as a coloured one, but in the end, all the pro cameras come only in black.

Using a camera as a fashion statement usually does NOT fit into a professional photographers reason to buy a tool like a dSLR.

They look goofy and cheap. However the models that come is red aren't pro. In the end it is your pictures but why you chose red is beyond me. It is easier to steal (if they want it), it doesn't always match with your attire, it is less conspicuous and looks cheap.

In the end it is just a camera but a camera alone makes enough of a "fashion statement" without the need to over compensate.

I guess the companies do it because there's a demand so don't feel centered out. However, you also just killed the resale value over a black one if you ever decide to sell it.

If you are a young person you can almost certainly get away with a 'styled' camera. But if you want to look like you have joined the more serious club then you need to have the same uniform as everyone else.

The photos couldn't care less what colour the camera is. Maybe you get a different reaction from subject… Child notice red camera and smile more nicely? Old person expresses surprise at a colourful camera etc.

I'm sure that Kai and Loc on DigitalREV with their pink cameras are more pro that lots of wannabes with black cameras. As far as being more conspicuous, a Nikon D4 with a 14-24 or a 200-400mm is a lot more conspicuous… Or any of those white Canon L lenses.

The only reason that I perhaps wouldn't buy it other than personal taste is resale. Red is going to be harder to sell than black.

It's my money which purchased my Pentax DSLR in red! If somebody does not like it, they can take a long walk on a short bridge!

If you are in public and some wants to know who the professional photographer is. It makes a point,
"It's the guy over there with the red camera!"
