Originally posted by Docrwm Two reasons come to mind that are practical and not simply matters of style or taste. First, an all black camera is less obvious and if you are there to record an event but not disturb it then black suits that situation better than nearly any other choice.

Yep.
Though that's a really pretty purple. What do you think, Mags?
I used to have something just that shade: can't recall what it was.
Also the green-brown seems to suit that camera. Kind of mean-looking.
For me, yeah, generally I *don't* want the camera to draw the eye any more than necessary, But black or a dark grey, maybe dark green or brown, that'd be OK.
