The long-awaited Canon EOS 7D Mark II will be seen for the first time in New England at the 38th Annual Hunt’s Photo & Video Show. Featuring an array of new and improved capabilities, including faster shooting speeds, greater light sensitivity and more processing power than any other EOS camera on the market today, this new digital SLR camera is designed for professional and advanced amateur photographers and videographers seeking new and better artistic and creative pathways. A limited number of Mark II cameras will be available for purchase; orders will be taken for others.

Enjoy a chance to do a good deed and get a good deal at the 2014 Hunt’s Show by trading a used cell phone towards a discount on the purchase of a new camera at any Hunt’s store. “The trade-in discounts will range from $10 - $150 towards the value of a new camera,” explains Hunt’s Photo President Scott Farber. The cell phones will be donated to the non-profit organization, Cell Phones for Soldiers, for repair and resale, or recycling for parts. Proceeds from the phones will be used to purchase prepaid international calling cards for American troops stationed overseas.
