What have people from Canon been taking photos of?
Here's a new camera. It's the Canon A480 range. It's "affordable" so we are in no way interested in its features or specifications. Look at it, it's hardly got any buttons at all. Rubbish.
However, we are interested in the demo photograph used to illustrate the LCD screen.
It's the family! This is because "affordable" cameras like the A480 are bought by families and given to the shortest member of the family who is also the most likely to drop it in the bath member of the family.
This is the screen demo photo of the Canon G10. PowerShot G10 users are a tedious bunch who hang around HDR Flickr groups rating each others' photos, photos which they took while going on holiday to a big city alone. Which is a coincidence, as the G10 was nearly the new Idiot Toys camera recently.
People who own the IXUS 980IS hang around on beaches taking secret photos of people through holes they've cut in towels and bags. Definite Next New Camera, especially if it comes with a custom bag with a hole already cut in it.
NEW CATEGORY LAUNCHED
We are officially launching a new category - LCD DEMONSTRATION PHOTOS, in which we look at photos of LCDs and see what demo images the makers are using.
This is the first new idea we've had in 2009, so be gentle. It could catch on. There's really no telling what people like and don't like.
