We're investing the city's limited funds in body cameras for the entire force. No one needs new digital cameras for surveillance ...

I still shoot with a d100. may not have all the bells and whisteles, but it is still a Nikon and is very reliable.

Good eye! A couple of years ago, and I forget what show it was, but sitting on a desk in one scene was a Yashica TL Super. Identical to the SLR I bought in 1969 at a PX in Nam! They must have really dug into the props bag for that one! It is interesting to see what cameras they use in the various shows. NCIS uses Nikons, but I don't know which one. In the movie Act Of Valor the two SEALs doing surveillance in the Somali desert were using a Canon 20D. From about a mile away. With a lens that didn't appear to be much more then 300mm. Don't know what they were going to see in those images! I find myself running programs back just to see what camera was used! Sick! I need a hobby! Wait a minute.....this is my hobby! Boy, am I screwed!

Have you notice that in most cases when a Speed-graphic 4x5 camera is used in movies that the bellows is in compressed position?? I suppose that people who are aficionados of a subject, like LFinga said, are bothered when the props are not right or used tilted like the camera in the photo here...
My "thing" is that Straight Razors are used perpendicular to the face rather than at a beard cutting angle.

Yeah, straight out of the prop room. I always go out of my way to see what kind of camera is being used. I often stop, rewind, and pause.

Dinosaur camera prop almost as good as when one hears a formula-cop-show detective or bad guy "cocking" a Glock pistol. I suppose as far as the soundtrack editors are concerned, that could be equivalent to "post-processing" in the digital photo world

You don't rewind a DSLR. LOL!
Remember Apocolypse Now?
The rewind knobs on Dennis Hopper's photographer character's cameras didn't move while he was taking pictures. (It may have been a detail done on purpose. Anyone know?)

Would you trust an actor with a D4s, or give them an old broken down camera? Hint, it is an easy answer.

Since you observed this, you are obviously aware that it indicates there was no film in the camera. Not really surprising.

...or that the film came off the spool.
May have been an extension of the character.

Most cameras on TV or in movies have had their logos blackened out unless the manufacturer paid for the "advertising"

No film in camera means knob won't turn!
