Didn't this happen recently with a Pentax ad taken with a d800? Or maybe it was a Nikon ad taken with a 645d.

If the ad is e.g. an image of a person holding the camera, or otherwise a depiction of the product it doesn't matter which camera was used to take it.

If we'd be talking about a gallery of images supposedly taken with a camera, but which are taken with another model - that would be dishonest.

About Huawei... nobody should care what camera was used for the video, because that's not the point of the ad. But the images inserted in the video, which they're suggesting they're taken with the phone...

Yeah, and those "Sea Monkeys" look nothing like the bipedal hominoids with built-in crowns shown in the advertisement because they're brine shrimp. I'm glad I never spent 2.5 weeks' allowance on those. I would have been doubly disappointed when brine shrimp hatched from the eggs because I could get brine shrimp for free by scooping them out of a slough a couple hundred metres from the house where I grew up on the Canadian Prairies.

I sent away for Sea Monkeys when I was a kid. Brine shrimp were pretty exotic to a kid from upstate NY...

[clackers]

At the very least, I'd strip the exif before sending it into the wild

Yeah, that's what I'd do if I was a Ricoh executive.

If the 645Z were part of a campaign and the agency asked would there be a problem if they hired an outstanding Hasselblad tog for the job, I'd say of course not.

Back the talent working for you, don't constrain them.

I too loved the drawings used to advertise them. Basically, lying to kids to get their pocket money off them.

I don't know if they got mine, but I think I got my brine shrimp from a neighbor who had tropical fish. Saved me some of my paper route money!

I was fascinated to hear in a podcast that pinball was illegal in New York and various other cities until the 1970s because it was regarded as a way to harvest money from kids, no different from gambling.

Certainly, the Kiss pinball machine at my college shook me down twenty cents at a time.

I crushed that machine when it came out! The Magic castle was in a strip mall that they shared with the military recruiting offices. That is how I ended up in the Corps!

Pinball machines? Kiss? Luxury! When I were lad, we had conkers and Doris Day...

My dad owned a bar from the late '70s through the mid '80s. When he first bought the bar there was an coin-op bowling machine, but when it broke there were no parts to fix it. He had a shuffle puck bowling game after that. The only pinball machine that I can remember was the Playboy pinball machine, though he had several others through the years.

But it was the video games that I remember. Asteroids, Space Invaders, a Pac-Man knock off, Pole Position...He had a deal with a guy to install and maintain the machines and the Juke Box, 50/50 split. Even at that Asteroids & Space Invaders paid for our trip to Disney World...

Yes, I heard that The First To Fight did their recruiting in the malls, looking for troubled and impressionable youths such as yourself, Tom!

I'm a history nerd, and the Corps has always had that impressive past/culture, just getting the best out of whatever resources the other services haven't already claimed.

Yeah, 'Galaga' also had a massive hit on my disposable income as a youngster, BC!

Those consoles pop up on sale on eBay and so on, and for about two seconds I think about buying one and building a man-cave around it and a bar fridge. Divorce would follow rapidly, I suspect.

The Star Wars arcade game ate my allowance. The 3-d line graphics felt so advanced, like the '90s had come a decade early. I remember the standup version was one quarter but the sit down cockpit style was 2 quarters for the full experience if you were feeling flush with cash. We had a port to a home game consoles (or maybe it was our trusty commodore 64), but it just wasn't the same.

I don't think there's any going back. Even with a full arcade console, you'd need a suitably pop-soaked sticky floor and the older kids to monopolize the machine you wanted, which was frustrating but made your turn that much sweeter.

Back the talent working for you, don't constrain them.

I completely agree, but also find it a little unfortunate that there wouldn't be existing working relationships with the many outstanding professionals who use your equipment. Hopelessly idealistic, I know

My dad never had Galaga, but he did have Gorf. I don't think he ever had a Donkey Kong machine either...

The Macintosh version was very good (b&w graphics, voices but no in game music, Amiga & Atari ST had digitized sound effects). But I didn't have one of those until the '90s...I don't know about the 8-bit home computer ports...the console ports weren't good at all...
