That is beautiful. To me though I would be scared to take it down to that just the body. Awesome looking though.

I remember seeing that here a while back. The thing I dont get is that you can actually buy black 300D's in Japan.
Perhaps he did that before the black ones were available.

I do believe that I had seen this before the black version was available in Japan. I think that the guy did an amazing job. But not just any schmoe could or should do something like that. This guy has some skills to write home about.

But you know, I was thinking about this. If I were going to paint my Rebel, would I paint it black? I really think that I would want a more unique paint job. Something ..... with flames. Or maybe a deep royal blue. I dunno. I'm just saying that black cameras look nice and all, but black gets mundane after a while.

I've seen that before, but it's been awhile and I've been wanting to see it again. :D I think it looks great except for the incorrect font on the Canon logo. I wouldn't mind doing that to mine, but there is no way I'd trust myself to do it. :D

[Jesper]

Yes, I've seen that one before too.

Did you know that in Japan they sell the Kiss Digital (which is the Digital Rebel / 300D) in two versions - silver and black? I wonder why they don't sell the black version in other parts of the world.

Here it is on Canon's Japanese website: http://cweb.canon.jp/camera/eosd/kissd/index.html

If you ever wondered why and how the Japanese make great cameras, now you know. :)

Not only is is black, the 18-55 kit lens is USM!
So is the 55-200mm a USM!

Doesn't look like he's done it in his kitchen though :?

2 Questions arise:

How durable is the finish?
What paint did he use?

I can't view any of this. :cry:
