Nice idea Darren. But I'll tell you what would really nifty is if you cropped a bit off the bottom so it was more 16:9 shaped!!

Not sure how tounge and cheek you are about this but I'm going to put my bit in. First off I think painting it is a bad idea, to many dials buttons and moving parts to get in to for my liking. Plus you have to concider the warranty surely that would be void. However tounge and cheek it maybe. What about stickers? I know you can buy that real cammo duck tape to cammo just aboutanything from any good hunting supliyer a few pieces in strategic places would be awesome. On that note if you where clever enough to be able to create templates and on sticky back photo paper print any pattern you wish.... I'm sure you would get some sales on eBay "cannon skins"

Kai on DigitalRev has been painting cameras as a joke for some time. He has a pink Nikon that he uses regularly on his videos. Personally, I really don't see the point. I don't have the time or the energy to pimp out my camera. It's already big and ostentatious enough as it is (which makes taking pics more difficult). So the last thing I want is something to draw attention to it.

Couldnt agree more ...
That said, I painted a Sony Walkman blue and yellow once ... That was pretty cool! But I suppose I was pointing that at people hoping they wouldn't notice!

Well at least you painted it the colors of our local [American] football club!
