Brother, I also agreed with you. You should also go out with users of different brands for specific outing, such as bird shooting for example regardless of brands.
Having said that, the purpose of the Canon User Group is to bring Canonians together, something like an exclusive club only for specific members.
The success of this gathering depends on the participating rates. It's not compulsory, etc. If others can do it, why can't CANON? Don't forget, Canon is the market leader. :thumbsup:
Like what I had said before, we should be matured, unbiased and objective, so why spread he BUY BUY BUY virus? Everyone knows that L lenses are great, but are they the best in the world or to your best needs, etc? We should analyse each individual's situation and prescript a best medication for each individual. What's the 'fool' to ask people to buy buy buy just because that lens is the best of its kind.
We, Canonians should dare to differ from others.

If anyone want to organise up a canon user group, the Canon Digital Lab @ Digital Media Hub could be used as your "base camp" or meeting point.
We (CDL) are in constant communications with Canon marketing therefore could be a link between users and Canon. You are most welcome to use our place for meetup or organising activities.
From what I know, Canon is very interested to re -start the Canon Club. It was closed down long time ago due to some club internal problem. It was one of the popular clubs in the mid 80s.

Canonians? Although I do own and shoot exclusively with Canon, I do not consider as one. By claiming one as a Canonian, it only tells others that he/she is a Canon user. Maybe Canon Photographic Society or CUG will be better. Canonian as a term only shows an equipment collector/user with brand loyalty, kind of BS to me personally.
Just like Gessians, Rafflesians etc, a lot of passion in the school, but Canonians a lot of passion in the equipment, not photographic.
Canon Marketing closed down the Club during 90s due to economic downturn. If there's a chance for the Club to reborn. My suggestion is to use back the Canon Photography Club , "CPS" as I believe a lots of existing members still have a strong feeling for the Club. I still have the Club Logo sewed on my Camera Bag.
Canon should support the move since economic situation has already improved for the past years and all Canon users like us are indirectly marketing their Products for them. They should show some support. Thanks.
