No reason the materials chemists of the world shouldn't be able to
give us bodies for all or cameras that would be chameleon like and
change to the color of our preference, like to match our vehicle, or
our shoes, or go to camo for treks in the forests or deserts of the
world. For those who like to stand out in a crowd, you could have an
anti-camo setting with bright obtrusive colors that hurt your eyes.

Interesting to note that the new G1 from Panasonic that Godfrey has
been having such a good time using, comes in color - Red and Blue and
I think Black.

I tend to agree with John. This is not targeted at a 'Pro'
