Canons Drool Worthy Gear Room at the London Olympics gear1 mini

Welcome to camera gear heaven: here’s a glimpse inside the Canon Professional Services office at the London 2012 Olympics. It’s a room that’s absolutely stuffed with cameras, lenses, and accessories from floor to ceiling. The Canon 1D X hasn’t been released to the general public yet, but this room has hundreds of them!

    WOW, i feel poor now.
    How can i be a sports big events shooter? I can make to be a CPS member, but how to get the credential? I did shoot only 3 sports in my life, one is world open swimming Championship in my town and Dubai Marathon 3 years and Soccer of local championship/league of UAE for almost 5 years, what else i need or how to make it for Olympics or even Fifa soccer events [World Cup, EU Champion league, Euro,...etc] and formulas for examples?

    How can we buy them 2nd hand when they are finished with them in 2 weeks? zacsmith007@hotmail.com

    I can guarantee they are not 550′s! CPS doesn’t act like Rebels even exist!
    I don’t see any crop bodies, but they’ve gotta be 7D’s…..

    I was wondering, what’s gonna happen to all that equipment after the Olympics? Refurbishing and put on sale? How about giving some cameras away to people who can only dream about buying a 1Dx?

    wow! do we get to buy these second hand after the olympics?

  • WaltersPhoto

    We are a UK Photo Dealer (Canon Pro Centre) and I haven’t seen that many 1Dx’s unbelieveable investment in shalf space !

    This has to be recorded as the first photo-induced-orgasm! Beats 50Shades hands down! So what happens to all this after the Olympics? Do the ‘togs have first dibs at buying these ’2nd hand’ camera’s and lenses?? Where do we put our names down??
