20 October 2009 – KL Hilton, Kuala Lumpur… this was no ordinary day at least for photographers, professionals and amateurs alike. Canon Inc. the largest supplier of photographic equipment have arranged for a concurrent worldwide launch of its new flagship model.

Everything was hush-hush and kept quiet until the actual launch itself.

Canon Malaysia, opted to do it in KL Hilton, one of the most prestigious hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And they wanted the launch to be big, carry a huge impact as well as conducted with utmost respect for their latest flagship as it seen by the attendance of Mr. Melvyn Ho, a Vice-President from Canon’s regional office as well as the full event attendance as well of Mr. Liew Sip Choon, Canon Malaysia’s President & CEO.

The launch marked the launch of the Canon EOS Hall of Fame as well to applaud local photographers. An inaugural nine was initiated into the Canon EOS Hall of Fame and these nine were chosen for their dedication, dedication and experience.

(Ahem…. I am proud to be one of the nine inaugural initiations to the Canon EOS Hall of Fame… more on that in THIS POST :P )

After all the festivities and customary speeches, at 12pm sharp, the EOS 1D Mark IV was unveiled with a beautiful model walking down the catwalk with it followed by the recently announced EOS 7D and EOS 5D Mark II.

    Between me and my husband we’ve purchased more electronic cameras over the years than I can remember, including many different Canons, Sonys, Samsungs and many more models. But, the last few weeks I’ve settled down to one line of digital cameras. Why? Ofcourse I was satisfied to take take notice of how well-designed and enjoyable the underappreciated (and widely laughed at) Canon EOS Rebel T2 actually is. With it I have been able to take the most great pictures. That’s all I wanted to tell, hope you have a great day and make sure to take some cool photos!
