It’s been awhile since I last posted a photography article. I was busy with work and the holidays. But one thing I’ve watched over the last month or two is the website Property Room.com . And while I am not a Nikon fanatic (or lunatic) I am slightly enamored with the Nikon product lines, especially the low light performance of the D700. One thing I’ve noticed about Property Room is that there is never a Nikon camera for sale.
For those of you who don’t know, Property Room is run by Police Departments disposing of evidence and other equipment forfeited in drug raids and other kinds of criminal activity. I keep a pretty close eye on the SLR cameras and Lenses. Since I’ve been watching there has been 1 Nikon and 1 Nikon lens on that site. That compares for 15 or so Canon’s up there right now. Minolta is also a popular brand among criminals coming in at 5 or so. Why isn’t there any Nikon equipment? One lousy D40.
Is this because the criminal element in our society does not use Nikon equipment?
