Canon’s stand (E80, D91) at The Photography & Video Show is always a highlight, and this year is shaping up to be no different. From Saturday, March 14 to Tuesday 17 at the NEC, Birmingham, you can immerse yourself in all the Canony goodness you can handle, including hands-on experiences with the latest Canon cameras and lenses, live demos and expert guidance, and inspiring talks from professional photographers.

No matter your flavour of photography, there’s something for everyone, from the content-creator-focused Canon EOS R50 V, the high-speed, full-frame, midrange monster that is the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, to the powerful run-and-gun cinema camera that is the Canon EOS C50. And of course, all the lovely RF lenses you could ever want to play with. Plus, the chance to capture a real-world scenario, thanks to a dynamic, live-shooting experience in the form of a Japanese martial arts kata.

The stand will even include an immersive underwater virtual reality experience. This is due to Canon’s partnership with a pioneering coral breeding lab, along with Coral Spawning International and Nature Seychelles, which seeks to boost reef regeneration efforts. The VR experience is designed to highlight the plight that coral reefs face, demonstrate how imaging tech is helping marine biologists in their quest to turn the tide, and showcase the expansive creative possibilities of the EOS VR system.

But what I know I’ll be most looking forward to during the four-day show is the Canon Spotlight Stage’s incredible line-up of speakers. From beginners to professionals and from wildlife to weddings, there really is something for everyone. Here’s a list of what’s coming up…
