engraving anything makes it very difficult to resale. Besides, my insurance covers me, that's what it's for.

Well this isn't the first instance of someone using their camera as a form of jewelry - I've seen more than a few folks over the years walking around with highly expensive gear and an obvious lack of knowledge of or interest in photography - the Leica hanging around their necks being there more to impress others than to actually take shots. This guy just took it to a new level.

Tell that to the person with the engraved Colt 1911, or the Winchester 70 or engraved sterling silver teapot.
A professionally engraved camera could be quite valuable.

Looking for attention in all the wrong places. And YOU gave it to him? WHY?

Why put you license on a camera that can lost or stolen. Good way for ID theft

I like one comment that was made. I've seen more creative artwork in high school bathrooms.

Be careful hanging out in high school bathrooms. That's frowned upon in some areas.

I didn't make that comment Jerry. It was made on the the site you referred to.

To identify myself as owner I put my name and email address in the EXIF area for owner and author. If I lose the camera (what is the chance of that?) it is there. If it is stolen.... Oh well!
Engrave? Never. What if I want to sell it?

Hey...why not...if that's your thing.
I do think the vibration could be a serious negative variable.
This might be much more suitable.

How to Turn a Camera into a Conversation Piece.
Cool idea. From the point of view of an artist who could/would actually create a design. I got the engraver, numerous old cameras, will have to practice on plastic.
I should work this out in a couple of years.

Perhaps he'll have trouble if he decides to sell it or trade it in. It looks a little cheap.

I really don't understand videos like this. There is absolutely Z*E*R*O point to it. Why in the heck would you do this to A*N*Y camera, cheap or not... And then to think anyone would be interested in how it shoots photos or videos? I don't get it...but I clicked on it, watched it and felt others should suffer along with me so I wouldn't be alone...LOL...
After reading your post, I went back and watched the video--the whole thing. Not sure why, but I did. Apparently I too have too much time on my hands.
