OK, so, I gotta confess, I’m way confused here.
So, some time back Leica announced the “Safari” edition of their M8 camera:

Leica M8 Safari Edition
And then, making my rounds today I find out daddy Olympus is displaying a green E-3 over at PEI in Japan right now:
And, I’ve heard Pentax made some limited edition green cams. So, apparently Safari chic is in.
Except, oddly enough, if you ask National Geographic, whose bags have thus far exhibited that nice, “let’s go hunt lions” canvas and brass d-rings safari look. Until now, because while camera makers are saying green is the new black, NG has decided their new Walkabout line ought to be black.
So, cameras are going safari, and safari bags are going urban. Thank goodness it’s a Friday, this is the sorta quandary that’d throw my whole week off.
