p.1 #1 · new Sony ad with Nigel Baker


I've just seen the new sony ad that features Peyton Maning, Justin Timberlake, and Nigel Baker (a photographer recently converted to Sony). Nigel Baker is also on Sony Style front page.

http://www.nigelbarker.tv/blog/index.php

Looks like Sony is trying to step up their ad campaign. It would have been great if it also released some zeiss wides.

But in the very next article on the blog you can see he is still using his Mamiya RZ67 digital kit which he uses on ANTM.

p.1 #4 · new Sony ad with Nigel Baker


ahhz and I thought it was clear. Sony chooses to feature a celeb photographer (who claims all of his DSLRs/lenses are replaced by a Sony system), obviously trying to swing some non Sony shooters. It doesn't work for me but I think the ad was pretty funny and it was just some news.

I know it's newz....personally I am just plain sick and tired of seeing "celebs" promoting stuff that they probably have never even touched much less use. Peyton Manning shooting Sony?...yeah right. I wonder if Nigel really did go to Sony though?

My guess is that Nigel might use the Sony as an augment to his current equipment when doing some 'location' work that is better suited for 35mm vs MF.

That way he gets the legitimate promo and doesn't take a step backwards in the studio.

Yeah, Nigel says he replaced all of his DSLR stuff with Sony, but I'm sure that the bulk of his work will still be RZ67 digital. Either way, good marketing move by Sony. Celebrity or not, Nigel is a real, working photographer, as opposed to Andre Agassi and Ashton Kutcher.

Hah, he doesn't use Sony. He has a Canon 5DII and an RZ67 with Leaf back.

I have to admit, Ashton is pretty hilarious in those Nikon commercials....to bad Demi's not in them!

I don't think so. According to his blog, he's traded in his Canons for Sony, granted I'm sure he'll still be using the RZ67 for most of his work.
