Canon is celebrating National Camera Day, happening on the 29th June, by hosting a month-long campaign featuring photography workshops and for the public to participate in a ‘Capturing Moments’ photo contest. The aim is for Canon to cultivate the love for camera and photography among aspiring photographers and enthusiasts.
