I don't know how many times I have watched TV shows and was more interested in what camera/lens combo they were using and if the images they showed on the screen represents the gear they were using.
I watched an episode of CSI: Cyber and noticed one of the forensic photographers was using a Nikon 105 2.8G and the picture they showed was a macro shot. I was surprised besides he was using the pop up flash!
Its kind of fun spotting what cameras the actors are using. The original CSI used a lot of Nikon D70's, my guess is that they were probably cheap to get for the show.
Another thing I noticed is that a lot of shows use Nikon cameras and very few Canon. I wonder why that is.
Person of Interest uses a mirrorless camera sometimes. Which would make sense. There was a short lived crime comedy called Battle Creek and the police department was low budget and they used old film DSLRs.
I think on an of episode of Dexter he was using a Nikon FX body with a 60mm macro lens and the Nikon R1C1 system.
Sometimes I love the details in these shows to satisfy us photo nerds. You can tell the shows who are getting advice from actual photographers and shows who are not.
