The ad for the dribble.

It'll "make you a better photographer".

C'mon Canon: Prove this or shut up!

Strewth, advertising departments have a lot to answer for I think... Maybe it's an indication of the market they're trying to aim at...

I've never been one to bash another brand they both make great products I reckon, but ads like this seem aimed at the people who want a camera and haven't the foggiest as to what to get...

Ah well, at least there might be some cheap second-hand DSLRs on the market once they realise it didn't make them great photographers, and they get sick of "all them buttons"... :lol:

It was the Telegraph.

I even told him it was the Telegraph when he asked what paper.

Sorry Piro,

Not an article, but a 3/4 page ad for the dribble.

As Leigh corrected me, it's in the Telecrap rather than the Herald, but this takes advertising license to an extremelylow point.

Not that it wasn't already trying desparately to reach up to the gutter ...

i love false advertising ,
it come along alines with the camera phones which take sharp pics with no distortions , video games ads where pre rendered cutscene are only showned or the low fat foods with extra salt/sodium or sugar or sulpurdioixde as presevrtatives.

Almost as misleading as the Olympus ad for the E300's dust removal system... It only slightly :roll:

exaggerates the visibility of dust in your final pictures...

Probably not suitable for dial-up viewers...

If you think the one with the female model is bad... check out the photo of the baby on the Dust Reduction Tab

The dust baby was funny.. Looked like he was growing cottong out of his face. He still wasnt' a happy chappy without the dust tho...Also, where does the dust go? Is there a tray which u can slide out to take out the dust? I'm imagining after a while it would pile up and when u move the camera about, the dust would move about as well.

Do you think the photos would have been taken with an Olympus camera

I'm not knocking Olympus, just their PR and marketing dept

I can do that with my stomach. Wonder if it'll get rid of the dust bunnies on my pictures?
