How Easy Would It Be To Custom Paint a Nikon?
The idea of a custom camera is quite appealing. Like any other custom item there is a bit of personality in having something that is not replicated all around you.
This is why I thought that creating a custom Nikon would be so awesome. If there was a way to customize your camera, you could be both Nikon and unique. Now, just before all the Canon photogs hit me on the head. I assume the same goes for Canon (putting aside the already "customized" white lens).
The video after the just shows how DigitalRev TV, a Honk Kong retailer customized pink-nuked their D90.
I'll let you see the vid to judge the results and outcome of this project.
So, I think it is now safe to say that customizing a cam is not that trivial, but once Nikon service jumped in for some help, the camera resurrected and came back as fully functional, yet puke inducing device.

This is the worst idea ever!
This is the worst idea ever! Just ruin the perfectly good camera.
LOL
Hahahaha, I laughed a lot.
But it was awful.
Never in a million years. At
Never in a million years. At least with a working camera. I could see doing this with a retired one that can't be salvaged for parts. If such a thing exists...
I love that guy's reviews,
I love that guy's reviews, they're hilarious. Watch the Nikon D3S vs. Canon EOS 1D Mark IV review too :).

How easy would it be to trick the readers on the 1st of April? :) This video is a joke!
:(
Seeing as the video was uploaded to youtube on March 4th, I doubt this a dedicated April Fools joke.
Phfft, just get a Pentax Kx
Funny they went to all that trouble when Pentax offers tons of colors. Wanna be's
maybee
ive seen it done w/ laptops and other things, but I wouldnt leave it up to such an idiot. I might stencil my lenscap and put some decals or something but since I'm about the same caliber idiot as this guy i dont think i'll paint the entire body.
Interesting idea...
Nice idea to customize the color and I agree it helps to have a clue what your doing. I disagree with using off the shelf spray can paint. I feel he should have used an airbrush with good quality paint to get better results.
If you are not painting your camera...
If you are not painting your camera you are totally out of the loop, my friend.
It is almost a must in my community of with-it, hipsters. Black is so 2009.
We paint our cameras every colour of the rainbow and we all stand out in the photo world. You can spot us everywhere.
I agree though, pink is kind of flashy.
And you need to be a bit more careful than that guy was- we can't all just pop down to Nikon HQ.
