A new photo challenge plus other news from Snapshot Cameras

March was a month for product releases and supplier training and Sam's head must be spinning after all the training sessions and hands-on launches he's attended: car

he joined other specialist camera retailers for the launch of the Fujifilm X-PRO1
he joined other NZ Leica camera retailers for a training day on the Leica S2
he joined other specialist camera retailers for the launch of the Nikon D4 & D800 (more later)
he attended a training session on Kata & Manfrotto bags

Hands-on Nikon DSLR Camera Launch...

Nikon introduced the D800 and D4 to specialist retailers from all over New Zealand on March 28 at Hampton Downs.

Sam went along representing Snapshot Cameras and had a great day. The retailers really appreciated the hands-on experience they were given with fast cars for the D4 and a professional studio and model for the D800. Come in and check out Sam's photos and find out what he thinks. A few of Sam's photos can be found on this page.
