Hello Canon Users,

For those not aware, Canon have a website called Canon Collective. Canon provide representatives in all states and territories around Australia (and some worldwide events) to organise different shooting themes and places. Can be a real mixed bag of opportunities for all levels of photographers.
Some events are free, and others require some payment.
The ones that I've been on the Canon rep rocks up with bags of the latest cameras and lenses for everyone to use.
Well worth exploring their website. I have thoroughly enjoyed the couple of events that I signed up for.
