Photography expos are a great way to see what’s new for your favourite brands, and to test drive many different types of cameras, that may not necessarily be available in every retail outlet that sells camera gear.

The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to check out what’s going on when, and where.

Depending on where you live, here are some resources for finding photographic expos you might be interested in.
