Be sure to mark your calendar, plus keep an eye out for these and more exciting events to come!
The Canon EOS 7D Mark II: The Star of the Show
The EOS 7D Mark II was the guest of honor, and attendees were the first to explore all of the DSLR camera's highly anticipated features. The camera was in the middle of the action to document the night, showing off its impressive 20.2MP CMOS sensor, high-speed continuous shooting up to 10fps, beautiful full HD video and the Intelligent Viewfinder II. Attendees also got an exclusive look at Canon's Pro100 and Pro10 printers, on display, and the CP910 for printing photos on the spot.
The partnership of Canon and Adorama proved that the interest in photography is as exciting as ever. Canon was very proud to be a partner in this unique event and witness firsthand the appreciation the attendees had for the 7D Mark II, states Carl Brown, account executive at Canon. With much respect to the football and basketball stars, and even Jon Bon Jovi, the real star of the night was the Canon 7D Mark II. Listening to the three great speakers was one of the true highlights of the evening. An event this big can only be done when there is true excitement. Canon and Adorama pulled it off wonderfully.

An Evening Featuring Giveaways, Sports Legends and More!
Free to attend, Adorama's action-packed evening featured special guest appearances from sports legends including Boomer Esiason, Darryl Dawkins, John Starks and Lawrence Taylor, as well as engaging presentations from Sports Illustrated staff photographer Peter Read Miller and Canon technical educator Rudy Winston.
Making a surprise appearance, rock star Jon Bon Jovi accompanied the event's headlining speaker and Bon Jovi's official tour photographer, David Bergman. Watch Jon Bon Jovi discuss the new photography book WORK, featuring images taken and curated by Bergman, at Adorama's Capturing the Action event in an exclusive interview with Extra here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrMlemgz0f8&feature=youtu.be.
The event with Adorama and Canon was a wonderful opportunity for me to showcase my gallery of music and sports images, as well as my brand new book, WORK,' which is a photographic documentation of two tours around the world with Bon Jovi, David Bergman said of the evening. So many of my friends and fans came out that I was able to personally chat with people all night long. The fact that Jon Bon Jovi came out to support me was icing on the cake. I can't thank him and the band enough for bringing me into their inner circle and allowing me to do the type of work that I love to do.
