A close look on the image let read "Canon"...

I think I would send it back to the manufactures and ask them what the cost of the repaired would be. Hey I hope you're not taking my statement seriously. Actually it looks like a case for the insurance company. Well look at it this way, it was a lesson well learned I'm sure.

I am sure the photographer is fine and well. If he got any shot he would be very happy. For the pro the cost of the camera is nothing.

Are y'alll sure that the image is authentic? The temperature at the rear of a rocket at launch is over 6000 degrees F. At even a reasonable distance there would be nothing left of the camera!

Per my earlier post on page one, More information,
NASA photographer Bill Ingalls set up six cameras to capture NASA’s launch of seven satellites on a SpaceX rocket on May 22. The launch melted the camera. But some pretty fantastic footage survived. A brushfire caused by the rocket launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California engulfed the camera set up furthest from the launch pad.

Odd that such an established company like space X had a nameless company camera the name plate would have survived sadly most companies put their name on the strongest part of a camera

"Veteran NASA photographer Bill Ingalls is no stranger to rocket launches, but even he seemed surprised when one of his remote cameras melted in a fire sparked by a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch Tuesday but — wait for it — still managed to snap photos of the liftoff."
Impressive! But I'm still happy with mostly Nikon equipment.

Good thing that the camera was set up remotely otherwise more that the camera would have been toast.

Yes. The lens release button looks like Canon shape, as does the prism housing. Plus nameplate say Ca.
I think I can also make out EOS.
