  • 2 September, 2010 – Canon Expo 2010 New York

    Once every five years Canon holds a technology exposition. The latest took place in New York City, opening yesterday, September 1st.

    This event is for Canon’s customers and partners (as well as selected media), and includes business, education and government participants. Attendance is by invitation only.

    I spent the day at the show, and while there was only one new product announced – the Canon XF100 and XF105 video cameras, there was an impressive array of expo type future products on display.

    I have just posted a brief overview of the show and also a 2 minute video that tries to give a taste of what it was like.

    "Awesome video presentation.
     
    I have learnt so much more after looking through this on the weekend.  The tip about pushing blacks and fill light in the Basic Module was worth the price alone.  My images of a recent trip to the Australian Outback are popping and punching with delight!
     
    Thanks Michael and Jeff – I really appreciate you taking the considerable time to share your in-depth knowledge and insights."
