A member of the Navy Seals snapped his picture with a camera and uploaded it to analysts who fed it into a facial recognition program.
While some people are speculating on what dog was on that mission, I can't help but think about what camera got the Navy Seals approval to snap the death pictures or even video. What could the Seal possibly be carrying in this kind of situation? A compact, a DSLR? A Nikon or a Canon or a totally different kind of animal? What lens? Fixed focal length, zoom? What ISO? JPG, raw or a combination? Was it a SD or a CF card? Or just a camera phone?
I bet it's THE iPhone 4, perhaps the latest white colour model. What else could it be when you've got to carry it in full combat gear? Can you imagine a SEAL member hauling the Canon EOS 5D Mark II together with Bin Laden's body up a chopper somewhere in Pakistan in the dead of night?
ReplyDeleteI wonder when will it get leaked or declassified. On the other hand, there were 79 commandos on that mission so you never know what they hauled along. They probably have some secured channel to send the pictures and DNA stuff right away. So bringing a big ass DSLR is not too far-fetched.
