KUALA LUMPUR, 28 April 2015 – Canon has today invited Malaysians to ‘Shoot Big, Show Big’ with a fleet of devices designed to elevate the social experience of viewing and sharing photographs and videos with their loved ones - the all new EOS 760D, EOS 750D and the Connect Station CS100. The announcement comes on the heels of its announcement that the Company’s interchangeable-lens digital cameras (digital SLR and compact-system cameras) have maintained the No. 1 share worldwide in terms of volume within the interchangeable-lens digital camera market for the 12-year period spanning 2003 to 2014. Our host for the day was the stunning Choo Mei Sze! Before you ask, no, I didn't take a selfie with her this time. Perhaps next time... “Photography has always been as much a social activity as it is a means of immortalising a precious moment in time. While imaging technologies have evolved tremendously over the years, the act and art of capturing a memorable image still retains its marvellous ability to bring people together,” said Wataru Nishioka, President & CEO Canon Marketing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. “We are very proud today to announce the arrival of two all new DSLRs as well as our very own Connect Station CS100 – products we hope will help amplify the power of photography to connect people.” ‘Shoot Big’ with the highest pixel count in Canon’s EOS entry lineup. The EOS 760D and EOS 750D are the first in Canon’s EOS entry lineup to offer the highest pixel count of 24.2 megapixels. Paired with the latest Canon DIGIC 6 image processor, users of these DSLRs will be able to produce images with excellent quality and vibrant colours. The EOS 760D also has the ability to shoot High Dynamic Range (HDR) movies, which is great for retaining more detail in overexposed shots via the process of combining two frames of differing exposure.
