I'm a Nikon user. I have never raped anyone, and the only people I have killed were actively engaged in attacking me, or others, at the time. I shot my last home invader-with a Ruger, rather than my Nikon-in front of police witnesses....and did not spend a minute in jail for it. I went to the PD, to fill out a report, and went home. I was trained in proper gun use-by military, and police, veterans-when I was a child. I have always used my guns, and my cameras, in perfectly legal manners.

They'd better hope he keeps that camera around his neck to make him easier to spot.

"I have always used my guns, and my cameras, in perfectly legal manners." I bet you do not like the idea of taking arms or cameras away from responsible people.

In regard to Nikon users, this is the first time someone who is a criminal is identified as a Nikon user. I guess there is a first time for everything.

That’s the first “semi professional” that I’ve seen using the strap that came with the camera

I am ging to guess he is going to disguise himself now and carry a Sony camera.

As respondents to the news story pointed out, the fact that he happened to have a Nikon camera has absolutely nothing to do with the crime.

I might say, though, that there are Nikon devotees on UHH who have concerned me with their fanatacism.

I just found the story very funny.

Hmmm...What’s the line from Shakespeare about protesting too much?😊

Why were you shooting someone in front of police and witnesses?
That does not make any sense.
If police are there and you are firing away like some maniac, there definitely is something wrong with your fable.

I have never owned a gun and no one has ever been actively engaged in attacking me or invaded my home. Wonder if there is a cause and effect there somewhere?
