Re: Black out camera name with tape WHy?

In reply to digitalshooter, May 1, 2012

I have heard of people doing this to prevent theft. Because apparently camera thieves are too stupid to recognize a $6000 camera when they see 1.

Regardless, unless you are testing a new, unreleased camera for a company and you are under NDA, there is no good reason other than to make yourself look like a total douche.
