I wonder if any scammers will take the Konica Minolta 5D and place a Canon sticker over the K-M and sell it as a Canon 5D to some (stupid idiot!) body who would fall for it. If I heard about someone complaining they got scammed like that I would laugh so hard because man alive if you spend that kind of money do some research!

Very important when selling things that people don't really need, and never knew they wanted untill someone with a degree marketing suggested it.

But would you buy a 20D if it was called the "Canon Supershot"?

It's funny. Look at the Rebel XT here in the USA and the percentage of people that actually call it the Rebel XT. I'd say 80% call it the 350D rather than the Rebel XT. I'm sure there's some out there peeling off the Rebel XT label and making some goofy 350D sticker to replace it.
