Subject: [Leica] The press now get paid to advertise their cameras?

I was watching ABC News coverage of the California Democatric Party
convention and noticed a photographer with a Canon with (I'm guessing)
a 70-280 f2.8L lens. I KNEW it was a Canon because there was a HUGE
"Canon" label wrapped around the lens shade. It looked like a product
placement. Another news show, sports this time, and another
photographer covering the game with the same label.

Is this really product placement? It doesn't seem ethical to me
although maybe it was a loaner lens and Canon decided to stick labels
all over it. Nevertheless if this is the wave of the future.....

I'm curious is all, I guess.
