This is the Way a White Camera Should be Done

Now for my regular exercise ( swimming against the tide ) ::)

Perhaps it is because I only recently escaped, but "white" makes me think of straitjackets, institutional corridors, orderlies and plain as can be appliances.

Cutesy colors make me think of the previously mentioned "Hello Kitty"/"Gangnam Style" consumer level.

IMO, black, with crisply engraved contrasting lettering/scales/etc., says "serious instrument".

Not least of my objections is the glaring-object-in-your-face I posted about before.

Damn this mud, …can't move my feet!

(P.S. - I'm not fond of pink pistol grips, either,.. WTF, grumble, mumble, …fade out with shaking jowls and frown.) :P

A pretty camera, but I also prefer black. Some chrome highlights against that black background might look nice. And some whitewall rotary controls? Hope they dont capture you, I guess? :o :-\

<p><strong>Canon P Imperial Edition


</strong>Canon Rumors reader Bernard sent me a few photos of his custom Canon P rangefinder. He had it redone in Tokyo with the help of <a href=\"http://www.japancamerahunter.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Japan Camera Hunter</a>.</p>
<p>The camera is fully customized with a new paint job and striking red grip. I personally think this is a nicer rangefinder than the one that <a href=\"http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/24/one-of-a-kind-products-designed-by-jony-ive-and-designer-marc-newson-sold-off-at-red-auction/\" target=\"_blank\">just went for $1.8mil</a> :)</p>
<p>What do you think of Bernard’s P?</p>
