INSURANCE FOR YOUR CAMERA GEAR
If you are interested in insuring your photographic equipment against damage or theft while it's at home or out on the road, AA Insurance and PFM can both give you details of very cost effective policies to cover this and your home contents including computers and the like.  Average cost for a year is 4 - 6,000 baht depending on the value of your stuff and at least one CMPG member wishes he'd taken some out after last year's presentation on insurance.  Call AA on 053 230 127 or Andrew Williams of PFM on 0870 520 389.

STUFF TO BORROW
We have track lighting and clip on lights, backgrounds, display boards and a small light tent available for members who regularly attend meetings to borrow at very moderate terms.  For details, PM Wyndham by following the link to Private Messaging below.

 Welcome to the Chiang Mai Photography Group. We meet every other Wednesday at 7.00pm in Tuskers Bar (see the calendar below) 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. (32x32ThaiFlag.gif ภาษาไทย)

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.

PHOTO RESOURCES IN CHIANG MAI!
True to our promise here's the new CMPG map featuring all the places we can think of that you'll need to find in the city for your photographic needs.  To see the full screen version with a listing of all the places pinned go here.

News: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)

Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i , previewed with samples
(Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:00 GMT)

Canon has unveiled the latest in its long line of consumer digital SLRs, the Rebel T2i (EOS 550D). Highlights include 1080p HD video recording (with full manual control), an 18MP CMOS sensor, 3 inch 3:2 LCD with 1040k dot resolution and the 63-point iFCL metering system first seen on the EOS 7D. The new Rebel also offers a handful of less attention-grabbing upgrades, including redesigned buttons, 3.7 fps continous shooting, +/-5 stops exposure compensation and UI support for Eye-Fi cards. We spent a little time with a pre-production EOS 550D last week and have produced a detailed hands-on preview and (quick) gallery of Beta samples - check it out after the link...
