Usain Bolt ran beyond the boundaries of sports and made headlines in the world of photography earlier this year at the London Olympics. After winning yet another gold in his 200m race, he ran over to Scandinavian newspaper photographer Jimmy Wixtröm, grabbed his Nikon D4, and began shooting some awesome photographs of what he was experiencing.

Wixtröm just sent us an email with some neat news: the famous D4 is now being auctioned with the proceeds going to charity.

The auction is being held over on eBay. The starting price was set at only $500, but bids are already starting to pour in. We’re guessing that the camera will be sold for a lot more than the $6000 price tag of a new Nikon D4.
