Not so, snip from Nat Geo

What types of film do National Geographic photographers use?

Nearly all use 35mm transparency film, such as Fuji Provia 100, Fuji Velvia
50, Kodachrome 64, and Kodachrome 200. Brand and type are up to the
photographer, but most use three or four different emulsions, depending on
the situation. They also use small amounts of other 35mm transparency
emulsions as well as some 35mm color negative and larger format films.

What types of cameras do they use?

It's up to the photographers, and their most popular choices are Canon and
Nikon 35mm SLRs and the Leica M6 range finder.
