Red, white, and blue, you mean! salute

Allons enfants de la patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé ! (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes,
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes !

Then the camera surrenders...


You've got the colors in the wrong order... (the French flag is also on
Wikipedia :-)

The French Flag has removable blue and red stripes, for quick surrender!!!

A little personalisation isn't bad. At least it's better than the yellow/
pink combination. Personally, I even like the white version with blue
grip. But most of your lenses will still be black with a green line. That
doesn't fit; they should be white with a blue line then.

That's not red, that's a really really ugly orange. Sheesh.

Back in the Canon 300D days, someone redid the outer shell of theirs in a
really gorgeous red. But that shade is ugly.


Might want to cal your monitor. It's saturated red with a tiny amount
of green and yellow. An orange swatch by it is completely different.
