Every product you see that can be identified in a TV program or movie is there because the company paid a stiff fee. From Automobiles to Cameras to Cornflakes, its all about selling advertising in a subtle way. Seeing a favorite actor using your product is a powerful sales tool.
Have you ever noticed the generic products in a movie or TV show? If no one pays the price, they just make up a generic label that says milk or cereal, no one gets a freebie.

I was watching "Major Crimes" earlier this summer and burst out laughing when a couple of different characters said a brand product by name a couple of times in a row. My wife asked why I was laughing and I told her I hadn't seen that blatant of product placement yet and wondered how much it cost them.
And, of course, I can't remember what brand it was that they repeated...so, goes to show, product placement doesn't always work.

Actually, I believe the correct answer is that Nikon won the bid for the government contract to supply all the surveillance equipment to law enforcement for the states of Nevada, Miami & New York.

Probably the same reason as James Bond changed his Aston Martin for a BMW in 'The World is not Enough'.
BMW paid.

In the 1980s, the television series Magnum, the main character had a Ferrari 308 GTS, causing envy in other car brands. 8) So Lamborghini offered a new model to the show's producers, who refused because the Ferrari was already an integral part of the character of Tom Selleck. Not always money trumps art.

I heard they offered the Lamborghini to Angela Lansbury's character, Jessica Fletcher….

Maybe for the same reason "top gun" used Ray Bans when real life aviators really used Randolf Aviators.
Just because Tom Cruise liked Ray Bans better and thought they were cool. And any man how got Nicole Kiddman into bed must know a think or two as far as I am concerned.

probably because they requested and paid to have it so
or one of the producers or something is a Nikon fan and wanted Nikon and Nikon was willing to put up whatever minimum amount the studio insisted on

Isn't it obvious?
The higher dynamic range of the Nikon camera's is what enables them to pull so much detail when they enhance their pictures. :
