Whenever I get a new digital camera, I give my old one to my mom to use. Recently, my little sister has taken to snatching my mom's camera for her own use. When I ask my mom if she took pictures of such and such she shrugs and says the camera is lost somewhere in my sister's room.

Since I just got a V705, I am getting ready to give my V550 to my mom. As I was packing it up, I was trying to think of ways to keep my sister from getting her sticky paws on this camera too. I came up with the idea that if I could camouflage it, she couldn't find it!

A company called Skin It makes skins for our Kodak Digital Cameras. I think they look really cool, and they are perfect for disquising my mom's camera.

Skin It offers many ready to go designs, but even cooler... you can upload your own picture and have it made into a skin. I figure I could take a picture of a spot in my mom's house, make it into a skin and my sister would never even see the camera sitting there!

How best to hide a V550? A nice woodgrain and it could be left lying on a table... undetected.

How about a marble design to match the countertops?

Ahhh yes... a gumball design. No one would look for a camera in a bowl of gumballs!

Grass? No, no.. don't want to leave a camera lying in the grass... that might be TOO hard to find.

I am starting to see all sorts of applications for this. A skin to match your favorite shirt and muggers won't notice a camera hanging around your neck on vacations. Use a picture of your face as a skin and people can smile right at the camera/you.

What else could I put on a camera skin?!
