I see that the time lapse was only of Nikon's set up so there was no TV copyright, lol. But of course Nikon isn't going to want the public to see how many crates they bring in etc. If they were going to have preproduction models floating around they would have never allowed him to set up the time lapse camera in the corner to begin with.

I see. That's pretty cool.

On event such as olympic, big companies like nikon, canon bring their stuff and rent them for free to photographers. Therefor they don't need to take big lenses with them from home.

...rent for free...? :D

So did they hand out the cameras to journalists, or did they rent them out?

How'd that all work?

Or were they spare bodies for journalists with Nikon Professional Services just in case their personal camera bodies broke down?

Probably has more to do with TV copyrights.

So who decides who gets the keys to those mesh cabinets? :^)

Interesting behind the scene report:

For some reason they removed the time lapse video of the setup: http://bit.ly/aN31tz maybe some new Nikon models got caught on tape? :)
