Wow!! I finally got myself a Canon Collector Cup and it wasn’t expected at all. I knew there were products that look like lenses and I’ve always known that they are expensive. This particular Canon Collector Cup is worth 25 U.S. Dollars. I’ve always wanted to have one but with the price tag, I always chickened out.
To my surprise, when the hosts announced the 3rd theme during the 2010 Canon Photomarathon, they said we’ll also be receiving a special gift from Canon. I actually thought it would just be ID laces or key chains but when I got to the download counter, I was smiling blissfully when I saw what the item was.
I finally found a tumbler to use when I’m at the office, Yay!! I’m pretty sure that in our floor, I’m the only one who has this. I first tried the Canon Collector Cup yesterday at home. My mom put fresh orange juice there. When I drank the juice, I was in heaven! I wonder if it’s really psychological huh? Knowing that I love the tumbler made me love orange juice more than usual 😛
I love the design! They really did their homework, making it look like the true Canon lens and also making it useful as a tumbler. The top cover actually reminds me of the sports tumblers in the market. We just open the small lid to drink and close when unused. It’s not spill-proof but I believe it does its job.
It’s also important to note that we cannot do the ff.:
- microwave the collector cup.
- use carbonated beverages.
- give to children when filled with hot liquids.
- overfill.
- freeze.
- use cleaners containing bleach or chlorine.
Can you distinguish which one is genuine?

Having the Canon Collector Cup made me forget all the stress & tiredness from Canon Photomarathon. It was a 13-hour event, only a few will be rewarded greatly. I felt that I got a consolation prize from the tumbler. I’m greatly satisfied, it was an awesome souvenir! Thanks again Canon! 😀
wow! the canon tumbler blog as promised! it really is a great consolation worthy for those who spent a day trying to capture the winning shot. If only I had the day dedicated for this event alone I would’ve had 2 of this already (I have one exactly the same given to me as a gift).
yeah, it’s really expensive and quite difficult to find the “real” one because there are some “fakes” that is being sold too. I think the genuine ones are those with rubber bottom.
It really does catches attention when you are using it in the office especially when there are photography enthusiasts around, it’s like a “trademark”, a branding also that you are a “Canonite” hahaha!
