It seems that those were done before Nikon’s ads, but I like Nikon’s better.

Oh, I have the balls – trust me, but many readers are visiting NR from their work computer and this is not good (especially in the US).

Hi there.

Take a look at this:

The only question for me now is, who came out first with this idea and who copied it. Nothing “creative” anymore in my eyes

Okay, point taken, but even at 4.5 and a fairly wide angle lens, you can’t tell me that those faces in the building “across the street” are going to be in focus.

why slow on Nikon Rumors? I thought 5th December was going to result in some new lens announcements? What happened to all the build-up chat about “something not being called D3X” and “new primes”?

Very disappointed that there’s been so much smoke and so little fire.

Too funny! Now if they can just drop that Kutcher guy.

I think you’re a bit mixed-up about “slow lenses.” Slow glass results in more, not less, depth-of-field wide open — because “wide open” isn’t that open.

Fun ads! (And they were clever to take any sleazy edge off the one showing the two girls playing Victoria’s Secret model by showing the bratty kid brother behind the curtain.)

Anyone know in what market they appeared? The originating blog says:

Agency: Euro RSCG, Singapore
Photographer: Jeremy Wong
Executive Creative Director: Charlie Blower
Creative Director: Victor Ng
Art Director: Lee Hsueh Ling
Copywriter: Victor Ng, Stephen Kyriakou

but the main models (aside from the ghosts, skulls and headhunters) are all Anglos.

Incidentally: CAN the S60′s face detection detect skulls? I’ll bet they’d get a complaint about that claim in the UK…

Those are actually really great ads since they combine lifestyle advertising, humor and benefits of the camera into one piece.

Of course the ads don’t tell you what it does after it detects those faces and since, with the slow lenses that come on those cameras you’re going to be shooting wide open, the faces in the background are going to be out of focus anyway.

But still great ads. Especially the last one. Every teen-aged boy who sees that ad is going to think that if he only had that camera, he’s going to be able to take pictures of beautiful young girls in their underwear.

Are these ads running in the U.S.? Something makes me think these ads are actually only for other markets.
