It's horrid. I reduced the width of my browser window so I wouldn't have to look at it as much, just the top bar.

Apologies if my lack of photographic knowledge is catching.

Is anyone actually going to buy a Canon 60d after looking at this ghastly ad?

I doubt it..and it got nothing but universal condemnation on the Canon forum..laughed at even hey why bother with the ad most will be buying a Nikon D7000 anyway..

Canon 60d = Yawn...

Saw this early this morning and thought it was really overpowering/distracting. Didn't want to mention it. Glad I'm no alone in not liking it though.

I have to agree - Both canon and DPR must be desperate to push the rather luke warm and vastly overpriced 60D this hard - if anything is going to stop someone buying one its those Migraine indusing red borders and 60D overadvertising .....

It's not hard to not buy a 60D - the price compared to a 550D / 7D and of course the competition will put paid to that

5 Mins after I posted this post - the Migraine fest Canon Ad has GONE !

The background is still that awful red which is physically displeasing to my eyes. Until removed, I'm out of here.

Danielepaolo · Sep 22, 2010

You spoke and it is gone. How did you do that? I am back to a dark grey and a foxtel add.

What Canon advertising? I've only seen the usual dark gray background the last few days ...

Oh wait ... you mean there are people who still don't use an adblocker?!?

(And an adblocker also helps to block the Flash based tracking cookie down in the bottom-left corner too.)

good grief people, install something called 'ad blocker plus' [firefox] and disable flash. i don't see adverts, or anything that moves, including their gallery thingie. now i'm going to find an add-on to get rid of the black grey background.

cheers

No adverts = no reviews, are you going to send them a monthly cheque instead?

It's not the ads that are the problem, it's everything else that goes along with them. The tracking images, the tracking cookies, the Flash cookies, the Flash bugs, the page load times when an adserver hangs or crashes ...
