Oh this is bad... Slash Gear is reporting that Nikon used footage in a Nikon Promo showing the video capability of the new D800 that was not from a D800 but from a Canon 5D MII.

D800 Promo video was assemble in Bangkok by a Thailand distributor, not by Nikon. Thai distributor also imports Canon.
Quote from Terje Sorgjerd, TSO Photography "I want to thank Kimito Uemura & Nikon for taking swift action, and resolving this issue quickly. They have taken every step to have the video removed, and will do everything possible to avoid this from happening again in the future. This matter is now fully resolved between the two of us."

As punishment, I have suggested that Thai distributor have his Canon distributorship revoked, and his quota of Nikon sales doubled.

I wonder what Canon will use to demonstrate the 5D MkIII video capabilities. How about an IMAX camera?

So who is watching the hen house??? Doesn't Nikon control its own advertising especially on new product releases of this importance?

Nikon does control its own advertizing, but they can't control third party activity before it happens, only afterwards, like this situation. The Bangkok-based distributor responsible for this fiasco, is primarily a Canon importer to Thailand. There may be more to this story than has been currently reported.So who is watching the hen house??? Doesn't Nikon control its own advertising especially on new product releases of this importance?

Great idea! They can use one ad to promote the Japanese camera industry.

Did the ad actually say that the video was done with the D800? I don't recall.
