TIPA Awards 2012

TIPA, the leading world-wide organisation of photo magazines, has announced the TIPA Awards 2012. Canon was the big winner this year, with no less than 6 TIPA Awards awards. Some people may think it’s strange that the Canon EOS 1D X could get a TIPA Award while it’s not yet available on the market, but according to the TIPA rules a product can still eligible if the TIPA jury had a chance to test it, and there are samples available of this camera to do just that.
