Attached image is from today's WH Press Briefing. Any idea why anyone in the WH press corp would be taping the logo on a Canon body right now?

7DIII?

5DsII?

6DII?

I haven't been keeping up on rumors lately.

Maybe he uses the camera for other jobs where the name can't be shown.

That looks more like a 1D form factor to me. It's probably nothing relating to a new camera. I also gaffer tape my bodies to prevent small nicks and damage.

The GPS hump suggests it's a 1DXMkII.

People, especially pros for some odd reason, sometimes tape over their camera logo and get a different camera strap. I'm a pro and have asked people why and always get a sorta weak answer about not wanting to advertise or avoid people asking what camera they are using. Doesn't make a bit of sense to me--I think it is just a "thing."

For real. A big huge camera with a white lens is still.... a big huge camera with a white lens. It doesn't magically get smaller with some tape, and is actually more likely to get some questions like "hey uhhh why is there tape on your camera".

1Dx II

Judging by the haircut, he's probably a Nikon Ambassador...

I have taped my 1dxII and 5dsr all over places against wear and tear. I am a bit obsessed with keeping my stuff in mint condition. This also helps resale value when a camera is scratch free.

Pretty sure it's a 1Dxii judging by the GPS hump.
But for the real points, what lens is it? 70-200 2.8 but which one? On the left is a 100-400 mkii... I think on a 1Dx as there is no hump...

I have been told by two WH pros that they tape it over "because Canon isn't paying me for advertisement". Which is legit in many ways.

I suspect it's the new 600 DO II under field test, but cleverly disguised as a DSLR.

I very often tape over Canon when I travel to 3rd world countries. If someone is going to hit me over the head to steal my camera or lens for his Nikon, Fuji, or Canon, at least he is not sure what he is getting.

Canon probably turned down his request to sponsor him/his equipment, so why should he advertise for them anymore?

I don't know how true this is, but I certainly subscribe to the theory. I'm not anti-Canon or anti good-will (or anything like that) but I look at it terms of fairness... advertising is a huge multi/multi billion dollar industry... If Canon wants me to advertise for them after I've paid a fair price for their product, they can reimburse me. Whenever I remember to do so, I black the logos out with gaffers tape If I know I might be caught on camera (or rather the Canon logos will be on camera). I don't do much work that ends up on TV but whenever I do (and I remember), the logos come off.

My 2 cents,
Omar

It sounds like some people have a slightly inflated sense of self-worth...

He should have probably taped up that white lens also then

Gee, after looking at this thread I'm going to tape over that big star on the front of my wife's C class.
Don't think I need to do it to my Kia.
