I was just reading about the rocket going up in space today and wondering which cameras does NASA use.  I thought I remember reading something that Nikon's have gone up in Space.  Is that correct?

Interesting article. I recently saw Chris Hadfield live (He's in the article) I knew Nikon was commonly used and if I recall, Chris Hadfield tends to use a 300mm or a 400mm the most.

"Camera used on moon landing sold for $758,489"

Story here: news.yahoo.com/camera-used-moon-landing-...8-489-104535621.html

I always thought it was the one and only camera, but according to the article there were several.

Also, the one on the image has no viewfinder. The other images I saw, same thing. Wonder how they got around that.
