camera gear heaven at the 2012 olympics

[webby]

here’s a glimpse inside the Canon Professional Services office at the London 2012 Olympics. It’s a room that’s absolutely stuffed with cameras, lenses, and accessories from floor to ceiling. The Canon 1D X hasn’t been released to the general public yet, but this room has hundreds of them!

someone did an estimation on the bodies alone, and came to $2.9 million+ without a single lens.

Can you imagine having two minutes to grab anything you can in that room?

[Nomar06]

Room of cameras or this........which would you pick?

 

[webby]

while that is pretty, they don't come close in price to the lenses

 

[Dar-Dar]

Room of cameras for sure. I don't own various Honda or compatible engines. Plus, those manifolds' total cost is less than the cameras. Lol.

 

[Nomar06]

But it's so zessy! lol

 

[Dar-Dar]

The room of manifolds is equivalent to probably ten 500mm lenses.
