PRONEWS CP+ 2024 Recommended Walking Course

Although CP+ is not as large as InterBEE, it is an exhibition with so much information that you can’t cover it all in one day. It’s not impossible to visit all the places in one day with a clear purpose in mind, but if you try out the various companies and listen to seminars, you’ll definitely run out of time. We have prepared a recommended course for you to use as a reference when you are wondering how to get around. That is “CP+ 2024 Walking Guide 2024.” PRONEWS will introduce two types of courses that will visit six recommended companies out of the approximately 90 exhibitors. We hope you will take advantage of the walking course and enjoy CP+ 2024 to the fullest.

Walking Course A: Japanese Cameras and Lenses

If you like cameras, you definitely want to visit the booths of domestic camera manufacturers. We recommend a course for those who want to tour domestic camera manufacturers. Starting from our “PRONEWS” (MP15) booth in the Media Partner Zone, move onto the Canon booth. There, one can experience the EOS R SYSTEM at the Canon booth. Next, check out the medium format digital camera “GFX100 II” at Fujifilm. The Sigma booth will feature an L-mount system on display. The LUMIX S5II series and G9PROII have easy-to-use video functions, the Nikon Z8 has new updated features, and the Sony “α9 III” has new expressions that are now possible with global shutter.

Course Outline:

(1) Canon/Canon Marketing Japan, Booth number: 04

EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R8, EOS R50, PowerShot V10 will be exhibited. Check out the touch and try corner where you can experience the various EOS R SYSTEM bodies and lenses. You can try out the actual machine while shooting models doing tricks and rhythmic gymnastics.

First, let’s enjoy HIGHLAND, which has an exhibit of 8mm film cameras that you don’t usually see. Next, the walking course will go to the RAID booth, also known as the distributor of RED cameras in Japan. The RED V-Raptor X will be showcased in Japan for the first time ever. This is going to be a must-see. SIRUI’s new series of small and lightweight “Saturn” anamo lenses, the new panel light product “PavoSlim” will be exhibited at NANLITE, and the wireless transmission solution Shimbol will be on display at NANLITE. Also be sure to check out the KONDOR BLUE display of camera accessories.
