I guess this would be a bad time to ask to borrow a lens from CPS....Sorry, that lens/body is not available......

Go to Rio. They have plenty. The 16th is 2 weeks from now. Make sure the new lens does not smell of sewage.

Yeah, that is great.

It's no accident that both Canon and Nikon's flagship pro models tend to be introduced ahead of the Olympics.

So does this mean that there will be a lot of bodies and lenses available in the Canon Refurb store in a few weeks? Hmmmm

So that is two full weeks. When I tested a 35L a few years back I think I got the lens in just under a week and a half. I absolutely hate that you can't just request a lens for a given date(s). They give it to you to evaluate but how can you evaluate the lens or camera when you don't know if you will have it at an event that would allow you to eveluate it

Fortunately, i recently upgraded to the PetKal pigeon, ver II, i staple it to my wifes head, and have her move back n forth to AFMA calibrate, so im good to go anytime. Only takes about two minutes, then i put the loaner back in the box, and return it early so i dont get charged full retail for the loaner, i have it down to a science....

Maybe a massive 'trunk sale' instead... hope they have good security.

I only read the most recent couple of his blog posts but found it interesting that a sports photographer of his apparent calibre wouldn't have his own 200-400, or other super-tele, and instead is relying on a loaner from Canon.

Maybe I've been doing things wrong all these years when instead I should just borrow the stuff from Canon when needed...

If you know they are on site you might not want to lug your own copy around and expose it to theft.

Canon plays for keeps, at events like this. I wager Nikon does too. That's why in spite of the commercial paradigm shift of the past few years, they are the de facto manufacturers many photographers rely on, to get the shot(s), again and again and again.

If I was standing in that room, I would jump and giggle like a kid on his first time in a candy store, and they could not get me out without security.
God damn it I need to go back to sport shooting. I miss it.

I'm sure there are a few in there for testing and in the hands of a few select canon top rank shooters in order to get some great sample shots for the announcements.

Sweet Jesus I knew that CPS was always out at Super Bowls, Olympics, etc, but I didn't think the scope of their support was this, ahem, comprehensive. Thx for sharing this link!

Imagine if all of us were in that room. Would we even know what to do because of sensory overload?
