Well, as someone into ads, I think using another camera would have been ok had there been a disclaimer on screen, like "screen images simulated" or "graphical demonstration" etc. But in this case apparently there was not so
viewers were led to believe it was a true representation.

Tsk tsk... on a lighter note, I think the guys involved in the production, not just the editor or director screwed up by missing the reflection shot. ;)
 
Olympus made a series of ads for their new Pen that they made a point of saying that the ad was filmed with the Pen...
 
I remember one Panasonic lumix g2 camera ad where the BTS showed a canon shooting it. ;)

It was this commercial;


Cant find the BTS video now. seemed to have been removed. ;)
