While not really adds, Canon does sponsor a lot of shows on PBS, Nature etc.

can Nikon be as good as this?

Dare I say it, but that video is rather dull, don't you think?

How so??

Regarding the current situation at Nikon some more come up to my mind:

I AM NOT AVAILABLE TO ORDER ANYMORE or I AM WHAT YOU CANT BUY ... ;-)

I AM MOST LIKELY TO BE RECALLED SOON & I AM HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS, NOT ONLY WHEN YOU TRY TO SHOT WITH THE LENS CAPE ON ...

Sorry but could not resist ... ;-)

Re the Nikon ads.

#2 always has to try harder.

I'v never really seen the point behind advertsing DSLR's on mainstream TV personally, there not a mainstream product nore one that carries a great deal of prestige.

Well, six minutes of watching the same buildings in a time-lapse over and over and over again.  Sun goes up, sun goes down.  Sun goes up, sun goes down.  Sun goes up, sun goes down.

Certainly, the photography is lovely.  But entertaining?

+1 - as a commercial the time-lapse just sucks. Nothing's happening, where's the jingle, where's the tag line? Commercials are about getting attention and they are not about educating people.

Just take Apple as an example - do they educate you about their products? No, they try to create a certain image and that seems to work pretty well for them...

Apple tells you "WHY" they build their products, "WHY" they do things the way they do, what they do and how they do it are irrelevant, everyone knows anyway,  They've managed to sell their "dream" and "vision" to people who believe what Apple believes. They are magnificent at that, it's extraordinary.
