oh you mean the "Canon" visor? I agree that brand name is desirable even to non enthusiasts but its an incredible fact that there are a lot of people who don't want to hear how great something is or even interested in anything "professional" because they figure they can save money by just getting something cheaper that's only "good" instead. Incredible but true.

People don't want the actual gear the pros use, they just want the same brand name emblazoned on whatever they can afford to buy.
