Top 10 reasons to visit the UK’s biggest photography and video show…from the comfort of your own home!
The Photography Show & The Video Show Virtual Festival is nearly here (20 and 21 September), and we can’t wait to bring the community together again online for two days of creativity, innovation and plenty of kit.
Chat to experts
Talk one-to-one with specialists from your favourite brands, whether you’re looking to buy, explore new gear or want to find out more about what you already own– just navigate to a stand and click ‘CHAT’.
The newest kit in action
See recently launched kit from a different angle – including a first look at a new concept by Sony and the brand new Fujifilm lens at the Burst Mode Hub, plus a demo of the S5 at the Lumix stand.
Buy at show prices
Snap up special offers from across the show floor and make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to add to your kit, even in absence of a trip to the NEC in March. CameraWorld, London Camera Exchange and Wex are our major retailers at the virtual show.
