I actually get it why people do that. I don't think it has something to do with being elitist. I think many people (well, at least me) wear they camera with pride. Not because I think it makes be better in any way, but because I've worked hard for it. I've studied it to master every setting and button. But most of all, because it is mine. I know there are better camera's out there, but this one happened to be bought by me. It's like your first car, you know it's a piece of ****, but you still love it. Because it is yours. You own it.
So I don't mind putting my gear in my signature. I usually have something silly in there, but if it helps to put my stuff in there, I will happily oblidge.

And I have the deepest respect for people who can make the most beautiful pictures with a 50 euro camera...
