Nikon's PMA Press Release wrote:NIKON UNVEILS EXCITING PROGRAM FOR PMA 2011



Nikon Australia is preparing to wow fans at this year’s PMA Australia Imaging & Entertainment Expo, showcasing its entire camera range and a wide selection of consumer and professional lenses and accessories. Providing product demonstrations by some of Nikon’s leading photography specialists, consumers will be able to get hands-on with everything Nikon has to offer. In addition, Nikon has broadened their Nikon School consumer education offering with a dedicated second stand where a series of back-to-back workshops will take place; led by AIPP accredited photographers and Nikon Ambassadors from the world of fashion, showbiz, photo-journalism, adventure sports and more.


Nikon is kicking off its exciting plans for PMA Australia 2011 with a Nikon Ambassador meet and greet cocktail event on Thursday evening (23rd June). This exclusive event offers the passionate My Nikon Life community the chance to mingle with Nikon Ambassadors and acclaimed photographers such as Jasin Boland, Mark Watson and Christian Blanchard in a personal and intimate setting.



All Nikon cameras will be on display, from the recently released COOLPIX and consumer DSLR range to the Pro Series DSLRs including the D3X. Consumers are invited to get up close and personal with the products with a COOLPIX and consumer DSLR, and a long lens demonstration area where Nikon product specialists will be available to give expert advice.



A range of lenses and accessories will also be on display including Nikon’s recently released 50mm f/1.8G lens and ME-1 microphone.

Visitors to the Nikon stands will also be able to see the new I AM NIKON brand campaign come to life. The campaign, which launched in March, is a multi-year activation spanning all mediums from web to print to cinema and TV to in-store and product tours, encompassing all Nikon products from compact COOLPIX cameras to consumer and professional DSLRs. The brand campaign featuring Jamie Oliver and Robbie Williams has had a great impact in the local market to date.

Hope you’re well.

Canon do have a few things going on over the three days – I have highlighted a few of them below.
