    I was assuming the black CR to be in a shiny finish, just like the red and blue ones. I saw one in a shop and to my surprise it was a mat black one.

    My questions is: are all black CR's mat? or are there also shiny black ones?

    Thanks in advance

    I think the TZ has a shiny black, but no, the CR black color is only matte. :(
