I wonder what cameras the Soviet-era cosmonauts used :think:
Lomo?
Can someone tell NASA that it is the person behind the camera that matters and not the equipment?
Actually NASA astronauts use either Canon or Sony High-Definition Video (HDV) professional camcorders such as the Canon XH G1 and the occasional 70mm IMAX video camera.still waiting for the movie clips from NASA...
this thread is more amusing than the topic itself.The pics are really amusing. :thumbsup:
Looks like they're having a whole load of fun, regardless of whether it's a Nikon or Canon or whatever they're using.

Unlike Canon which not only manufactured cameras but also a number other things, Nikon is more specialised in camera.
Just my thought. Hope no offense to Canon user.
Their camera consists of two parts, pencil and paper.
The consumer market is only a small part of the Nikon product ranges. If I am not wrong, majority of their earnings are from precision optics, lab microscopes, and other industrial optical equipment.
The DSLRs and consumer market is only a tiny fraction of their overall earnings.
That explains why for decades they can afford to ignore DSLR fans
... and this is the 70mm IMAX 3D video camera weighing over a whooping 113 kg though its weight is negligible in a microgravity environment...
