   While few would question the popularity of black bodies,
there is an interesting alernate view when it comes to
shooting candid, so-called "street" photography.

   Society, as a whole, is so camera conscious these days,
that some professionals have concluded that someone seeing
a photographer with a black body is instantly on guard,
because, if he or she is using a black body, he MUST be a
member of the media. Therefore, the subject is immediately
on guard.

   But, a person shooting with a chrome camera COULDN'T be
a professional, therefore he or she must be an amateur
photographer, which means he doesn't know what he or she is
doing, therefore not worthy of attention.
