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?
