European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA)

The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) is a collection of 50 special interest magazines from 22 European countries who come together to select the best products of the year.

Each year the EISA members get together within their panels to determine the very finest products released during the previous twelve months. Each product category is discussed at length, and the pros and cons of the nominated candidates measured, weighed and compared, until we could come to a final verdict.

AP has been a member of the European Image and Sound Association (EISA) since 2007, and part of their photo panel. The significance of the body and its product awards are growing in the UK all the time.

AP is respected around the world for its thorough testing processes and EISA’s other members are also chosen for the rigour and integrity of their own reviews. This means that you can be confident that the following products are worthy winners of a prestigious EISA Award.

EISA is a serious organisation that, unlike many other awards bodies, really does have the interests of its readers at heart. It does not exist to line the pockets of its members, to court those who might be in line for an award or to flatter those that do eventually win. It exists to bring the best magazine technical departments from all over Europe together in one place to discuss, debate and then agree on which of the cameras, lenses and accessories, launched in that year, will best serve the needs and expectations of enthusiast photographers across the continent.
