not that it’s stolen but I also see some D4 footage in there… unless the D4 film “why” was shot on a D800…

I’m guessing this is down to the same third party marketing company that were getting them in hot water over similar events two years ago with the S3000.

Lol, The Sartorialist is in there too, look here…
This crap is even more ridiculous since I’ve just been to a Canon preview of the C300′s and they had multiple short movies realized with the C300 alone… step up, Nikon. Way to make you look inferior to the competition there.

Nowhere in the video does it say that the footage was shot with a Nikon anything. It’s all assumption.

This is pretty crazy, but does nobody remember when the D300s was released the ridiculous footage in Robert Bosch’s promo video? I even emailed Bosch asking about it (he didn’t respond). This is not new for Nikon. As far as advertising laws go, I know in the US – if you advertise a product (ice cream is a good example) you have to show that product, not something else (like mashed potatoes). I’m not sure where this falls – they may not be claiming that video to be shot from the D800, so maybe it’s technically okay (but definitely not good for business).

Here’s Bosch’s video – check out 0:10 for the not-Nikon-fun-time.

I think I saw TheSartorialist more than a few times in the video. I thought he uses Canon? 0_0

That one real skateboarding trick (the nosegrind on the ledge at the top of a bank) was lifted from somewhere too. Not sure where but it certainly pre-dates the D800… Could even be on a VX1000 or VX2100!!

Well this video seems to be released in Southeast Asia, which if you have ever been there, copyright laws do not exist (or are not enforced) so I don’t think they anticipated this going into the US, but still poor form Nikon.

Im definitely sure that Nikon was probably in a rush to create a promo video……which in result in taking many clips from different videos…basically there is so much more other ppl’s footage, like Ross Ching’s DTS Speaker Orchestra video

I wonder did Nikon gets approval from these ppl to use their footage?
