I know there will be a LOT of photographers in a mega sport event like the Olympics, but never thought of how many camera will be there.

Just how many camera are at Athens?

Now I know: It's a big amount!

They bring in a battlion of professional level camera with premium lens. All these camera are preset by the sideline and linked wirelessly. So, the photographer just hit a button and all of them snap away.

In addition, photographers bring in their big gun and taken up position to snap on some detail/focus/target shot that the preset camera won't catch.

So, that's how they waste films.... oh, I mean how that are able to take a lot of pictures to ensure something turn up.

I rememebered reading about how low the turn out of pictures taken in sports event, and I definitely know it first hand when taking pictures for our soccer team. That 1 million dollars shot is actually just one of the many, many that failed.
