Has anybody tried to remove the camera model decal off the front of the body? Just wondering how easily it can come off.
(the sticker on the body that would say 'rebel xti' or '5d/markII')

As to why you would do this, depending on where you take your camera, you might be a lot safer if people didn't know exactly what you were carrying around. yep. a crackhead won't rob you if you are only carrying a 50d http://instagram.com/edraderphotography/

Do what? Remove the logos from a camera you own? Nothing illegal about it. People do it to custom cars all the time. You can do anything you want to the camera after you purchase it. It's yours...
