Isn't Nikon and Canon what 99% of all sports photo pros use?
That OK with me. As slong as they keep making Pentaxes for me. Good glass and 
decent, affordable bodies.

It's a very nice panorama, though...

I'm sure the number of accredited photographers is well into four figures.

Just this morning I noticed that the front page photograph on my local
paper (the San Jose Mercury News) - a photograph taken of the athletes
just after crossing the finishing line of the women's 100m sprint - was
taken by a Mercury News photographer, not by someone from a press agency.

I doubt it.  The Olympics is a big venue, so photo passes are likely
to be restricted to full-time sports photojournalists.  I doubt if more
than a handful of those guys shoot anything other than Nikon or Canon.
I know that if my livelihood depended on it I wouldn't be using Pentax.

Official meaning 'representing the IOC' I assume. That sounds like a
very low number. Even in 1936 Leni Riefenstahl had hundreds of
photographers and cameramen beavering away. And that was just at
her... 

There must be thousands of accredited photographers. Every press
organisation in the world must have dozens of photographers - probably
hundreds, considering the number of events taking place. There are
probably as many photographers as there are athletes.

I heard on the radio the other day there were 110 "official" photographers @ 
the Olympics.

Just before the men's 100m final the other day the TV coverage pulled
away to show the number of photographers waiting at the other end of
the track. It was an awesome sight - far more than in that panorama.

Seriously.

I wonder if ANY photographer over there is using something other than
Canon or Nikon.
