Sony skips over Alpha line, uses Canon DSLR for Cyber-shot press photos

[Arcusmedia]

Yeah, it'd be far more egregious if Nikon lowered itself to using Canon gear for press photos, but even still, Sony should know better. And by "know better," we mean "remove telling EXIF data before hosting press shots up for the world to see." Sure enough, the outfit used Canon's (admittedly stellar) 5D Mark II to capture the press photography that represents its new WX5 and TX9 Cyber-shot digicams, and the proof -- as they say -- is in the metadata. Hit that source link and download away to see for yourself. But be quick -- we get the idea this little slip will be cleaned up in record time.

A real slap in the face to all 10 maybe 12 Sony Alpha owners J/K, yeah thats bad on them for not removing the data

Pretty funny :)

I am a Sony SLR user and don't care. So, they hired someone to take the photos. Cybershot and the Alpha line are two different divisions. Yeah, they probably should have removed the EXIF data, but I am sure it isn't the first or last time a company has used someone else's hardware.

Think I'd have used the camera I was trying to sell to take all the pics......

I don't think their target audience for the cyber-shot is likely to check out the EXIF data. Just sayin'.
