Canon Australia is celebrating a massive win - five of its products were recognised with “Best Product 2010” awards by the prestigious Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), representing 29 photography and imaging magazines across 13 European countries. The five award-winning products are: the EOS 550D and EOS 7D digital SLR cameras, the PowerShot G11 compact digital camera, the PIXMA MP990 inkjet printer, and the imagePROGRAF iPF6350 large-format inkjet printer.

The Canon EOS 550D was honoured with the “Best DSLR Advanced in 2010” award. The judges said that the camera was “dedicated to the demanding consumer, but definitely usable by any amateur and enthusiast photographer”. The camera was also praised for its “impressive number of settings and functions”, including Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) recording and a Live View mode.

The Canon EOS 7D digital SLR secured the “Best DSLR Expert in 2010” award, being recognised for its 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor (APS-C size) and its ability to deliver “superb results” up to ISO 6400. The judges said, “Action photographers will love shooting at 1/8000 sec. shutter speed and ultra fast frame rates”, noting that “exceptional HD video makes this camera the choice of professional video makers”.

Winning “Best Expert Compact Camera in 2010”, the Canon PowerShot G11 was recognised as a “well-built and user-friendly” camera with a diverse range of functions and capabilities that photographers need. The judges thought that the model, which features a 28–140mm (equivalent) optical zoom lens and high-resolution 10.0-megapixel CCD sensor, “is a great tool to work with precision and discretion”.

The Canon PIXMA MP990 inkjet printer was selected as “Best Multifunction Photo Printer in 2010”. The printer was recognised for its “innovative features”, including Auto Photo Fix II with multi-zone exposure correction, which brings the best out of portrait and scenery shots, ensuring the optimum colour balance and brightness.
