Canon EOS 1300D Bloggers Meet
I was recently invited to the Canon EOS 1300D DSLR camera launch in New Delhi. As a fashion & lifestyle blogger, I was really keen to attend the launch and get my hands-on this camera. I do own a DSLR but still features like WiFI, NFC connectivity; Food Mode and High ISO range got me excited about Canon’s latest offering.
During the launch, I also got an opportunity to meet and interact with Mr. Andrew Koh, Vice President of Consumer Imaging and Information Centre, Canon India. When I asked him how the Canon’s newly launched camera would fare in the Indian market he replied “Photography as a hobby and sporting a DSLR camera is quite the rage in India presently. So is social media, and everybody wants to share their images online with their friends immediately. With this a precursor, we are thrilled to launch the EOS 1300D – a DSLR camera with inbuilt Wi-Fi & NFC. The EOS 1300D creates great looking images and allows instantaneously sharing them as well – thus meeting the requirements of first time users, social media junkies and hobbyists alike.”
At launch there were some interesting activities such as:
Spin The Wheel
Celeb Chef and Pro Photographer Session
After actively participating in both the activities, I was mighty impressed with the social media friendly features of the camera like Wi-Fi and built-in NFC for people like me who are looking to shoot to mobile devices and sharing quickly across social media platforms, simultaneously.
