The end of the year is just ahead so I thought it would be a good idea to recap on our achievements as a community. 

I’ve been so inspired by the growth of our competitions and the level of passion for creative imaging you’ve shown in 2010. I also enjoyed the addition of the 6th Brief to EOS Photo5 – by partnering with Channel Nine we’ve brought more people to the World of EOS, which helps us all take our photography skills to a new level. 

2010 has seen some amazing World of EOS imagery, many of which have won in our competitions: EOS Photo5 and 6th Brief, EOS 1wall, and EOS Photochains.  

Keep watching the blog for profiles on each of the EOS Photo5 winners, be inspired by their advice, and find out what motivated their photography. 

With this in mind, I wanted to share some great achievements for the Canon EOS brand. Recently, Canon received three prestigious awards from Camera magazine in the 2010-2011 Imaging awards. 

    
   

Canon’s EOS cameras dominated the DSLR categories with the EOS-1D Mark IV winning in the “Professional Digital SLR” category and the EOS 7D winning in the “Enthusiast Digital SLR”.

Canon also claimed the only award in the only non-camera category – Best Digital Photo Printer for the Canon SELPHY CP800. 

Another exciting achievement is Buy-n-Shoot’s Reviewer's Choice Awards for 2010. Online Photography site Buy-n-Shoot, posted an article on the top Reviewers Choice Awards for 2010. Canon won two awards: one for EOS and the other for a PowerShot compact camera.  



Best DSLR Award went to the Canon EOS 7D

Best Compact Award went to Canon PowerShot SX210

For the sixth year in a row Canon was awarded PC Authority’s Best Tech Awards for the ‘best inkjet printer’. Canon scored solidly for cost efficiency of ink cartridge replacement as well as stellar print quality, describing it as a consistently excellent product range. 

Moving into the silly season, for any of you going away this Christmas or spending time with the family, make sure you check out some of the latest tutorials on the Canon YouTube page. We will be posting some great tutorials for capturing great holiday and beach pictures, to the Canon Facebook page. I’d love to hear what you’re planning on capturing throughout the holidays and will be checking in on Facebook regularly.

Thank you for your support across 2010 and I look forward to seeing more of your amazing images come through for each of the competitions next year. Have a great Christmas and a safe New Year.

Happy snapping!
