Deadline

12 o'clock noon September 17th, 2008

Welcome to the...

Welcome to the Chiang Mai Photography Group. We meet on Wednesdays at 7.00pm every fortnight in Tuskers Bar and all those with an interest in photography, be it film or digital are warmly invited.

The Chiang Mai Photographic Group aims to further all aspects of the picture taking abilities of its members through the sharing of skills and mutual support in an informal, inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere.

CMPG is run solely for the benefit of its members and a fee of 40bht per person is collected at each meeting to help defray expenses. Meetings last two hours after which we encourage you to stay for a while and chat with other members over a drink in the bar. We can't cover everything in the formal bit and this is a good time to explore interests you share with other photographers.

You can find details of the current photo assignment at the lower left of this page.

Check out the latest news about the new CMPG Discount Card here and if you don't have one yet ask at the next meeting!

News: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)

New 5D to eclipse competition?
(Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:39:00 GMT)

Canon has just added a mysterious teaser to its US website. The page shows a silhouette of a camera with the words 'Destined Evolution.' Maybe it will be updated to include more detail in the future, we don't know. It's almost as if the company is building up to the launch of a camera to replace one of its older models. We have no specific information but it doesn't require any profound market insight to predict an EOS 5D replacement is coming.

(Fri, 05 Sep 2008 05:30:00 MST)

Digital Photography Review notes this morning that Canon has posted teasers hinting at an upcoming Canon camera that, based on its outline, is likely to be a midrange or pro digital SLR. Given that the EOS 5D is the oldest in the company's digital SLR lineup, the teasers may be showcasing a replacement for the three year old model.
