May have been a marketing ploy to trick people into writing articles about Canon. If so, it worked on you.

It is possible, though it'd be written http://canon./500d

Check http://bi./ for example. The TLD of Bosnia-Herzegovina has an actual A record here, and judging by the content on the site the guys have been testing if this very thing worked.

I hope they'll resell domains to their customers. photographerX.canon – why not? Guess I would grab one.

i think it's all about cleaning up the url and making it easier to remember.
eos.canon is cleaner than canon.com/eos

Perhaps that will be true, given enough time. But we have a couple of decades of ingrained habits to unlearn. For me, I'd instinctively try "canon.com/eos" right off the bat.

not sure whether it's possible to have http://.canon/500d

maybe something like ilovemy.canon/7d would be more logical

In Dutch we have a saying that goes like this (translated): “shooting with a cannon at a mosquito”. Somehow this came to mind the moment I read the article…
