This is the same as the Vimeo video

The Mountain is shot using Canon and not Nikon.

The promo was shown at Bangkok official launch, and you can see the video in the background here

Likely put together by a ad agency who just grabbed the best video clips they could find, along with those shot specially for the nikon introduction.

I'll bet this is going to be embarassing for Nikon.

They have some kind of "bad luck", like that time when Nikon ad featured white tele lenses:
Who is Nikon?

All the snowboarding footage in the promo is from the Art of Flight movie. The movie was shot with an array of cameras including the Canon EOS 7D. However none of the footage used Nikons. A very questionable PR move by Nikon. ???

Reminds me of the Intell 3D ads back in the 90s that were made on Macs (with Motorola chips in them)

Really seems like something you'd check into....

Wow!
Unbelievable doing it once is bad but again and again.
People have to have been fired over this but then again its big business so maybe anything goes.

You'd like to think that the rest of the world cares about things like this, and whoever made the ad would be getting a caning over it
...
but unfortunately it's only nerds like us who notice, even nikon fanbois will find some excuse to defend it (anyone gone over to nikonrumours.com and posted it there yet? I'd love to see the reaction on that...)

Nikon should be ashamed of themselves and sued for a considerable amount of money (if images were not used under liscense, which I've read many haven't). Us at canon rumors ought to go over to our nikon rumors equivalent and flame them for supporting such a blatently deceptive company. Unless someone can show Canon uses the same underhanded tricks at which point I retract my comments :-\.

But seriously, that is weaksauce.
