Nikon cameras in film and TV

I thought I'd start a thread to list the times we see a Nikon camera used i a movies or TV show.


Today while watching an old NCIS, Tony was using a Nikon body with a 300mm f/4.0 telephoto lens. So I decided to look online and see if I could find a photo of him with a Nikon. I didn't find this exact image but I did find this one below.

I wonder if Nikon pays for this courtesy, and if so how much do you think it costs them?

I think they do "product placement." The brand will be recognizably displayed, so they essentially get advertising while the product is used. I also notice that with computers. Lots of Dells, Macs, and iPads seen on a lot of different shows.

I believe Dexter Morgan 'shoots' Nikon. I read a story where they have used a D800 for filming of some sort.
