They are worried about warranty issues because the Nikon does not have galaxy-wide warranties.

Then again, when they wanted real pictures, they took Hasselblads. Rumor has it Gus Grissom was disgusted by the results produced by the Nikons and brought his own Hassy into space, produced some great shots, and the rest was history.
