Common...no weaseling, either choose live (in the flesh) or on film (still picture).

I most definitely think my electric blue "S" looks better in the flesh than on film. Haven't gotten a picture I really think does it justice yet.

I agree Ken, pictures and/or film doesn't do justice to Electric Blue.

I also agree about the EB mini live.. In my Case the DS/W Mini looks good both ways with the orginal rims.. now that I switched to some Gunmetal Rims. It looks way better live cause it brings out the metal flake in both the paint and the rims. Pix.. just dont do it justis.(or however you spell that)

My BRG/White with white wheels looks great in the pictures (when clean), but I'd say live just about pips the post!

Mine looks great on film

But even better in the flesh

Flesh has gotta be so much better as it's there in front of you and is tangible

Defo in the flesh

"in the flesh" for me too, Ken.

The metallic in the BRG paint job is hard to capture on film.

[By the way - did you ever get the "professional pics" taken at Gaithersburg?]

Apple looks better in real life than on film - the Lime Green in more vivid in the sun

Sorry. I tried, but I just couldn't figure out how to drive the picture.
