Aha! Somebody who actually prefers the black trim. You don't meet many
people who do.
Any special reasons?

I have both black and chrome. I don't mind the black at all, but do prefer
the chrome a tiny bit more.
And that's not because the black wears more, and then looks worse, than the
harder chrome finish. Though it factors too.

I think the design really needs the contrast between trim and vinyl covering
of the body walls.
A black trim camera, with grey vinyl instead of black, would be great too.
But all in one colour.. does not seem quite right to me.

Black trim was at one point made popular, because it would make you less
conspicuous. And the camera would show less in reflection.
I don't know, i think it was just a fad they were looking to justify.
