PGA Championship: lots of Nikon shooters

I took note of many of the photographers at yesterday's PGA Championship.
Surprisingly, the Nikon shooters seemed to equal the number of Canon
shooters.

Although the number of Canon cameras probably outnumbered the number of
Nikons as I noticed one photographer had 5 Canon cameras around his neck!!
All film too. Seemed like a camera body for each lens-- 17-35mm, 28-70mm,
80-200mm, and 2 of those big white tele-primes. A couple were EOS 1, but
others were lower-end models such as EOS 3. Each body and lens looked as
rustic as the fellow carrying them all. Brassing, dents, duck-tape, etc!

Nikon shooters seemed to be mostly using D2H and F5s.


Maybe the 5 camera photog needs a caddy as well.

Did you go to spot/ take a census of cameras or watch golf any
rangefinders?

As to expected F5 = current pro film body D2H = fastest available
digital body (but not highest res, thats still the D1x)

thanks for the interesting info though!!

The 8.2MP 8.5fps Canon 1D MKII says 'hi."
