Hi everyone. Can’t believe we’re already in Autumn! Here’s hoping that Autumn is as successful as Summer was for Canon EOS.

Last month, we gave journalists and pro photographers hands-on time with the new EOS-1D Mark IV at an exclusive V8 Supercar event in Queensland – as we predicted, they were impressed with the low light and AF performance, as well as its FULL HD video functionality. You can check out some pictures from the event below.

Congratulations to the winners of the EOS 1wall challenge ‘Capture the feeling’! We’ll be posting some thoughts from Judge Mike Langford about the entries and winning images shortly. Don’t forget - you have until 14 March to enter the latest EOS 1wall brief - ‘Pairs’ set by judge Yervant Zanazanian.

Oh and have a look at this cool site I stumbled across recently – 52 suburbs. It’s a photo blog by a woman named Louise, who has set herself the challenge of visiting 52 suburbs in 52 weeks to capture the beauty of Sydney. Her photos are stunning and she just happens to be snapping it all with a EOS 5D Mark II! Would definitely suggest you check it out – and don’t just take my word for it, she has an amazing number of followers!

That’s it from me. I’m off to Japan on a holiday – I’ll be taking the EOS 5D Mark II with me and will share some of my pictures with you next month.
