Pimp out your Canon EOS M Mirrorless Camera!

Canon's first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, the EOS M , officially debuted last month, and Japan is already ahead of the curve with colored and textured fascia stickers to pimp it out. A company named Japan Hobby has 12 different fascia stickers available for purchase to make your Canon EOS M stand out against the masses and according to your color preferences. This idea of “pimping cameras out” with custom colors and designs adds on to an earlier news article about PimpYourCam.com, a European-based company that will add a splash of color to your Nikon DSLR or telephoto lens. What do you say, photographers? Do you think this trend of pimping you camera out will take off?
Meanwhile, the Canon EOS M is the company's long-awaited entry into the mirrorless camera world. Panasonic introduced the first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, the Lumix DMC-G1 , four years ago. It was followed up by the Olympus PEN E-PM1, Sony NEX-7 , Fujifilm X-Pro1 , and the popular Nikon 1 J1 and 1 V1 . Canon's version is a nifty, compact camera that falls right in the middle of the company's point and shoot line and entry level DSLRs such as the Rebel T3 and EOS 7D . The EOS M has an 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, DIGIC 5 Image Processor, touch autofocus, and ISO ranging from 100-12800. It also comes with a Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 lens and is compatible with Canon EF and EF-S lenses. Since it doesn't quite have the advanced functionality of a DSLR, it appears many are having a hard time justifying spending $799 for Canon's first mirrorless camera.
