You may receive this unbelievably uninteresting and more suitable for a dusty street corner of digital picture taking blog , but I ’m curious about it :
This week I watched both “ CSI : NY ” and “ CSI Classic ” ( Or whatever they call the Las Vegas jurisdiction ) . I noticed the New York crime scenesters appeared to be using Olympus digital cameras , while their workfellow out West seem to be shake the Nikons . Not sure what ’s going on in Miami . Probably those Panasonic / Leicas .
At any rate , while it ’s certainly understandable for unlike law of nature enforcement agencies in different body politic to use unlike vendors for equipment , did CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer actually strike dissimilar product placement quite a little for the dissimilar CSI franchises ? I ’m obsessed .
When “ CSI : Topeka ” launching I ’m guessing they ’ll be outfitted with that oddly named Pentax DSLR .
Anybody have any idea ? Which is the camera of the true crimefighter ?
Readers chime in after the jump .

friend tells me ( who is a bull ) that you have to use movie camera . They practice some old manual camera .
You have to be able to prove that the image was taken and not change . Of naturally , Canon is coming up with some adherence for the 20D ( I beleive ) that will put a Francis Scott Key on the figure of speech from the camera so you may evidence if the image has been deepen .
Nikon and Lexar have cooked something up also :

This is all well and in effect until Stephan Maywalt of the Cambridge Police Department ( “ Put down that pocket guardian and keep your latte where I can see it ! ” ) writes :
In reaction to John R. Bennett s obsessional CSI observations , our true crimefighters ( and CSI s ) were originally equipped with the Fuji FinePix S1 Pro . They of late upgraded to the Nikon D70 , which they have been passing happy with . So my vote is for the West Coast Nikons .
The plot inspissate !
