- SLR accessory
The Canon M30 and M80 are also expected to be popular with the increasing
body of every-day photographers looking for new ways to store and
display favourite shots and extend storage capacity whilst away
from the computer. “This is the EOS accessory many Canon professionals
have been asking us for,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon
Consumer Imaging Europe. “As well as extending pro photographer
back-up and storage capacity, there is no doubt the Canon M80 will
appeal to amateur photographers looking for more flexible, enjoyable
and portable alternatives to the traditional photo album."
