While CMOS sensor advantages over CCD include lower power consumption and higher speed, their main strength is in the possibilities for system integration, since analog and digital circuits can be integrated. CMOS sensor can achieve high-speed characteristics that could not be achieved with CCD technology and can provide superb image quality that surpasses that of CCDs by taking advantage of these characteristics.

The first quarter of the year is where all manufacturers introduce their digital SLR cameras and compact cameras for the upcoming season. The PMA 2008 International Convention and Trade Show is the perfect place to showcase the new digital camera series to the retailer and consumers. The digital camera is still a device that is evoluting. The digital SLR camera market is booming and reaches a larger audience due to an important price barrier break and compacter designs. PMA 2008 will showcase new digital SLR and compact camera models and will give us a view what to expect for the upcoming camera season.
