Directions to each location are provided when you register. This isn't a hotel meeting room presentation. These events are happening at real production studios. For example, the Los Angeles event is going on at Paramount. A couple of the time slots are already full, so register today if you feel like checking out the XL H1 in a hands-on, touch and try environment. You might just go home with an $8900 HD camcorder for free!

mama needs a new camcorder! feelin lucky today! i just hope the luck is falling the right way on june 16 in denver. either way, it will still be fun to see what's the buzz on this great camera....the free firestore sweetens things a mite.

Hey Meryem, I think I'm gonna come up to the Mile High City and hang out at this show... so if you're there, keep that evening open 'cause I'm taking you to dinner.

Chris, do you know if it possible to get the watchmaker dvd from canon?
i live to far away to attend.

No Amsterdam? :|

I live too far away as well. Any chance of Canon sending a DVD to those that can't attend? Will it included HD files or is it only SD?

woo-hoo! and a night on the town with chris. i knew i was feelin lucky today. can it get any better?

must buy lottery ticket tonight...

You guys that want the sampler DVD but can't get to the tour... I'll try to do some arm-twisting at Canon to see what I can come up with. Maybe they'll let me have a batch to mail out to ya. It has both SD and HD versions of the 24F Watchmaker and 60i Italy demo material.

Hurd in the Mile High.
I signed up last week for the 1pm show. I guess if you were at the Canon booth at NAB they sent you an early registration email.
Meryem I hope you win the Camera too.
But if you don't happen to...then I hope it's ME:)
"Luck be a XLady with me." That's how the song goes right?

"Luck be a XLady tonight."

That's from Guys & Dolls. The wife and I have a soft spot for musicals. See you on the 16th Erik,

i guess 1 pm at the comcast media center is the place to be in the mile high on june 16th. i am signed up for that one as well and look forward to meeting you there, erik. should be fun times.

Gotta Go!
 

Even though I went to NAB and got a good look at this camera, I can't pass up the oportunity to look again and maybe win one. Just signed up for Miami at 11:00. Maybe I'll see some of our members there.

Okay, for you guys who can't make it to any of these dates but still want the HD sampler DVD... shoot me an email with your mailing address and I'll get the ball rolling for you. U.S. residents only please!

June 13, 2006 -- Just over the hill in Hollywood. I'm there!

Thanks for this information.

Is this event worth going to for those of us who have already purchased an XLH1?

Do they teach anything new or any tricks or is it just a sales pitch?

Also, anybody seen the rebate voucher to see if it could still be used for the firestore if we already have the camera? I had to ask!
