Cheryl and Maureen from Canon Australia set up their mystery display at Camera Electronic's Stirling Street premises a half hour before noon yesterday - but they insisted that no-one got a look at it until the 12:00 o'clock embargo was lifted.
Apparently there were two other Canon Australia representatives down at the Murray Street Store. They were all mysterious but good at their word - dead on 12:00 we got to see the new Canon mirror-less camera - the Canon EOS RP.
They got a crowd. They also got media coverage - Jennifer Villa-Lobos was doing a two-handed live Facebook feed for the shop. Saul was there to let people know about a special offer in respect of the new camera - there are special accessory grips available for the camera. People got to handle the cameras and operate them.
The camera seems to be a lighter and smaller model of their current new EOS R mirror-less line - perhaps aimed at the travelling photographer. As you can see it loses none of the functionality of the bigger cameras.
It doesn't mean that your other Canon lenses are discards - there are Canon adapters for them.
Quite a good present for Valentine's Day 2019 from Canon. As far as price goes, I suspect it will hover about the 2-grand mark when it arrives. Go on - treat yourself.
I'll bring you more on the new Canon EOS RP when I get my studio hands on it.
