Olympic sized: this is what Canon are taking to Rio

Canon have shared photos from inside their 'war room' - the official gear shed for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Inside is a shutterbug's wet dream, with over 1,600 lenses and more than 950 DSLR bodies at hand. We shudder to think what their insurance excess is.

It's not just cameras that Canon are biringing to Rio, with a squad of more than 70 professionals on hand to support Canon photographers working at the games.
