I’ve heard so much about the Canon Image Square in Calgary Downtown that I planned to squeeze it in my itinerary for my weekend walkabout.
Because I’m also on the lookout for a Canon PowerShot digital camera, I didn’t let the opportunity pass once I had the time.
What I like about the store is that I was able to try different SLR cameras. It is an experience that made me feel like a professional photographer trying to make adjustments with the lens but not succeeding as I get the same images despite mimicking.
Camera Galore
I used one of the Canon digital cameras to take the photo of dinosaur imprints. Later, I then sent it to my email using the iPad which store the photos and provide information about the cameras such as features and specifications.
The staffs are friendly that I wasn’t shy to try the different cameras of varying sizes especially SLRs that looked intimidating at first.
I fell in love with EOS M with EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 STM and flash kit. It is now at the top of my wish list.
As much as I wanted to stay longer and take home with me the EOS M, I left in less than 30 minutes with hope that I can sometime this year afford such high-end camera without the fear of dropping it and the confidence and skills to take photos of different subjects and perspectives.
I better keep an eye on it and so is to my saving strategy.
How to Get There
The fastest way to get to Canon Image Square in Calgary is through C-Train. Get off at 4 St. SW and walk towards Stephen Avenue. On your way you’ll pass by TD Square.
