We’re at The Photography Show 2022, at the Birmingham, NEC, and have been looking at the latest and greatest camera kit, so if you can’t make it, or you missed some of it, don’t worry, you can see it here.
We’ll be updating and adding to this as we see more, so keep checking back for more.
The Photography Show is the UK’s largest photography show, and therefore benefits from having (almost) all major manufacturers so you can get hands-on with the latest cameras, lenses, laptops, monitors, printers, tripods, bags, accessories and more.
In partnership with ASUS.
