The complete demonstration lasts about 30 minutes, but you will also have time to ask questions, and browse our other EOS camera accessories. There will be free coffee and biscuits, and the chance to chat to EOS magazine editorial staff and other EOS users.

Our office is set in a picturesque village only 10 miles from Oxford city centre, and Blenheim Palace is just four miles away, so there are some great opportunities for photography.
