I wonder what they do with all that gear afterwards. I imagine it would get onto the market for cheap.

Aren't these exactly the sort who are likely to already have their own?

so you mean canon doesn't loan camera to photographers because they assume that those photogs are already using canon gears? :lol:

Nikon have been lending gear to accredited photographers for decades at international sporting events,,nothing new.. From the '70s into the '90s Nikon had the largest slice of the professional pie and endevoured to keep their pro shooters happy..
