from what i hear from street photographers is that it helps them stay more low key. i guess the white lettering may stand out more or it might catch people's attention more quickly. i personally like doing it because i like to have an all black camera haha.

I love the expression "from what I hear" and the many variations
in it's literal sense my question becomes

did someone walk up to you and say......"hey, did you hear, some street photographers are putting tape over the brand name"?

"Did you get a new camera?"

"No, It's the same one I've always had."

I've seen someone taping his camera logo. And I was wondering what's the whole purpose of it? Is it because they do not want to advertise Canon? The guy was using 5DII, and while you could still see the 5D Mark II, you could not see the Canon letters on top.

Anyone knows why people do that?

You see it mainly with sports shooters, avoiding being "branded"...even if the white lens gives then away to us photogs!
