Notice the product shot at the end. It’s also hard to ignore that a camera company had anything to do with stolen footage. You for one should know how that feels.  Thanks for your input! Hope you are feeling better.

Not as if it is a release video of footage shot on the d800?

Is Nikon claiming that they produced it?
