Canon, who always puts on great workshops and training sessions, has launched a new educational program offering workshops and classes for current and prospective EOS users and shoppers. The program, called "Canon Live Learning", is intended to add value to the experience of owning Canon EOS products and enhancing experience and passion for digital imaging.
Read more, including dates and locations for Canon Live Learning, here.
My take: Canon wants to sell more Canon EOS SLR equipment but might be reaching the bottom of the barrel when it comes to identifying somewhat experienced camera users who would be the most likely to take the jump into the digital SLR arena. Canon has always been committed to training efforts and both standard and online only workshops have been available for some time. But the timing of this seems a little obvious to me. Hey, it's difficult to make any money on customers who are purchasing $129.00 worth of camera gear (digital point and shoot product is reaching all new lows for price points) and much easier to do so when a customer is looking at buying a camera that sells for $599.00 or more; I understand. Plus, with all of the lenses and accessories available for EOS system cameras...
I bet the training is decent, though. Rarely does Canon hesitate to include tips and talk from industry professionals who are loaded with information. And since the workshops are limited to just 16 people, you know it will be highly interactive.
Pick up a digital SLR camera from my friends at BPAV before you go. They're offering a nice free accessory kit on the Digital Rebel XS and XSi kits right now. Or maybe you're looking for something more on the semi-pro digital SLR end... either way, they'll take great care of you.
