Focus 2011 - Why No Canon?

[John Fairclough]

I heard a couple of days ago that Canon had pulled out of attending "Focus-On-Imaging 2011", after checking the "Focus" website" it would appear to be true.

Does anyone know why?

Already being a proup owner of the new 70-200 F2.8 IS MKII I was really looking forward to talking to the guys and checking the new super lens's.

Is there another Canon day some day soon - in the UK?

Come on Dave, give us the low-down.

Keep on clickin.

I can understand if its on cost that they withdrew.

I used to work for a very large company and we took the decision to stop having a stand at the NEC due to excessive costs and complaints from our customers about location, access, car parking and food prices.

I will still be going on Weds 9th as have a trade pass. I would have second thoughts if I was having to pay the entry fee and carparking of £8 as Canon have withdrawn.
