Delivering creativity without compromise, users can now be as creative as they want on the move, without having to compromise perfect images. The Samsung NX10 next generation camera will be on display during the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show, January 7-10, in the Samsung booth #11026 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. http://www.pma-show.com/0573/samsung/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:38:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0572/canon/slrlens/zoomlens/ Canon adds to its acclaimed L-series with the launch of the new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM telephoto zoom lens. This new Canon lens launches as the successor to the immensely popular EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, offering improved performance in every area. True to the L-series’ heritage, the Canon EF 70-200mm lens delivers optical excellence in the most challenging situations. As well as a revamp of the internal optical system, the lens has also been structurally re-developed as a direct result of user feedback, making it as robust and reliable as it is optically advanced. http://www.pma-show.com/0572/canon/slrlens/zoomlens/ Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:36:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0570/canon/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Canon launches the new PowerShot A495, an affordable and user-friendly compact digital camera designed for fun and everyday use.

Personally, I am not looking forward to be imprisoned in Disneyworld for a week. Las Vegas has far more going for it when it comes to photography and entertainment. Anyway; PMA 2010 will be held from 21 - 23 February in the Disneyworld convention center. This seems to be an interesting date, because traditionally many introductions take place around that time, which makes an event like PMA more exciting. We will wait and see what next year's PMA 2010 will bring us. http://www.pma-show.com/0555/letsgodigital/information/events/ Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0569/panasonic/information/events/ One of the most striking camera manufacturers of the last few years is Panasonic. The brand once started with a number of digital cameras and then decided on a very clear, well- built-up line of LUMIX cameras. The Panasonic LUMIX compact camera has managed to conquer quite a large part of market share, which we already expected considering its specifications and performance. It's amazing to see that a giant electronics brand like Panasonic grasped the message quite a lot faster than the traditional photo manufacturers. Panasonic soon equipped its LUMIX digital cameras with a MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization system and also the wide angle zoom lens was integrated very early on. http://www.pma-show.com/0569/panasonic/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:40:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0568/nikon/information/events/ If there is one brand that has been performing superbly for the last year and a half, and even more important, has succeeded in standing out, it's Nikon. With an unparalleled battle concerning market share and a succession of new product launches, one success beaten by the other, Nikon has reached an extremely comfortable position. The introductions of the Nikon D3 and D300 digital SLR cameras were the start, and if you have followed last year’s developments, you will know how many Nikon imaging products succeeded after these two. Canon had to accept a big blow, which also had its effect in the professional world. http://www.pma-show.com/0568/nikon/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:36:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0567/canon/information/events/ As always, Canon's presence couldn’t be missed at the PMA 2009. The brand needed a lot of space to present all its latest products. If we look at the Canon digital cameras, we find a large series of IXUS and PowerShot cameras new in the assortment. These digital cameras offer lively colors and stylish designs with the latest technologies to make digital photography even easier. Canon seems to provide a wide array of cameras; at least for the first part of this year. If we look at the entire assortment, we will find a matching camera for every type of photographer. The compact camera assortment of Canon is very well-planned, powerful and has a clear composition. http://www.pma-show.com/0567/canon/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:34:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0566/sony/information/events/ In the spacious Sony booth, the entire assortment of digital imaging products is shown in all its aspects. The entire Sony Alpha digital SLR camera line was presented and consumers eagerly took the opportunity to try out the Alpha DSLR for themselves. Still, I have the impression that there's a vast difference in the way Sony attracted the attention with DSLR cameras exactly a year ago, compared to today. One way or another, it seems to me that the plan to position the Alpha DSLR and in particular the higher assortment (Alpha 900 and 700) in the current market as they are now, was not entirely successful. http://www.pma-show.com/0566/sony/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:32:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0565/olympus/information/events/ The Olympus booth at the PMA 2009 show is quite well-arranged and provides a lot of space to give a complete camera overview. Striking is the fact that the Olympus E-620 is actually the only real new digital SLR camera of the entire show, which is of course very nice for Olympus. As a result, there was even more interest in the compact E-620. I myself had the opportunity to make several sample pictures in between my busy schedule, on the Strip in Las Vegas. And the first impression of this camera is a good one. It's compact and has features that are directly copied from the semiprofessional E-30 which makes it so pleasant to shoot with it. http://www.pma-show.com/0565/olympus/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0564/samsung/information/events/ Samsung promised to come with big news before the start of the PMA, and indeed, with the announcement of the Samsung NX camera, Samsung is likely to become the highlight of the event. This information reached me under NDA before I left for the PMA, and Samsung was first on my list to contact during the PMA show. It was therefore rather disappointing when I finally reached the Samsung booth only to find out I had better things to do then waste my time on a new Samsung camera of which nothing was known yet at all. Showcased behind glass, in different colors and lenses, all we could do was watch something called the Samsung NX from a distance. http://www.pma-show.com/0564/samsung/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:28:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0563/pentax/information/events/ Pentax also attended PMA 2009, but the booth didn’t leave much to the imagination. The compact, completely white booth looked more similar to a sales booth than one for demonstrating and showcasing products. Naturally, the digital SLR cameras of Pentax were showcased as well as a new 15mm f/4 lens, although there was hardly any news, if even any at all, about DSLR cameras. Obviously, Pentax did not consider the PMA to be the right time to make an announcement. If you have doubts about a Pentax announcement coming up, be patient... for one or two months. By that time, we will reopen the Pentax book to add a new chapter... http://www.pma-show.com/0563/pentax/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:26:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0562/fujifilm/information/events/ As always, Fujifilm had a grand presentation at the PMA with emphasis on printing and other services within the field of photography. Various photo kiosks and minilabs were showcased, and we also came across Fujifilm's 3D concept again. The Fujifilm S5 Pro, which is still very much appreciated by a large group of faithful fans, has disappeared. The fact that Fujifilm is no longer flirting with a digital SLR will not have surprised the attentive reader. The developments did not keep pace with the competition, and depending on third parties, for example for the housing, does not seem ideal. Yet, I can still imagine that Fujifilm will make themselves heard again, perhaps at Photokina 2010. http://www.pma-show.com/0562/fujifilm/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:24:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0561/casio/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ The PMA introduction of the EXILIM EX-Z29 at the PMA 2009 does not seem to be the top of Casio's business. Casio took along its latest series of EXILIM digital cameras, among which were the small speed devils that were introduced at the CES show. The Casio booth seemed somewhat empty, and the speed at which you can shoot with a Casio EXILIM demonstrated is outstanding, but by now, I've seen it all. Speed is a nice feature, but what does it actually do in practice? The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX1 digital camera should be a great example to Casio. A new Megazoom camera at which the speed is used to capture neat panorama pictures with astonishing ease. http://www.pma-show.com/0561/casio/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:22:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0560/kodak/information/events/ Whereas in the past, large floor surfaces were needed to present all the Kodak products, nowadays the amount of square meters has decreased significantly, as has the actual amount of imaging products. The American giant, famous all over the world, a brand name that equals photography, is presented at the PMA 2009 Show in Las Vegas. as a manufacturer of digital photo frames, some photo finishing stations and several services in the field of imaging. Somewhere on the side of the booth, hidden among the frames, a row of Kodak digital cameras is showcased. The New Kodak cameras carry the once so renowned Kodak brand name. http://www.pma-show.com/0560/kodak/information/events/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:20:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0558/canon/digitalcameras/underwaterhousing/ Waterproof and shockproof digital cameras are likely to become the hit of 2009, or at least; if it is up to the manufacturer. Various famous brands such as Olympus, Canon and Fujifilm have all introduced their own version of this type of camera, however, corporations such as General Imaging are also beginning to see the light. Although GE still seems unable to really get things started with a solidly built assortment of digital cameras, General Imaging did introduce the GE G3WP at the PMA 2009 show. The GE G3WP is a waterproof digital camera that can be used to a maximum depth of 10 feet. It features 12.2 Megapixels and an 4x optical zoom, all of which should add to the freedom of the active outdoor photographer, in order to capture his or her favorite moment. http://www.pma-show.com/0558/canon/digitalcameras/underwaterhousing/ Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:26:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0559/sony/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ We'd almost overlook them: Sony's Webbie Cams. The new brightly colored Sony cameras record video in MP4 format and digital pictures targeted on the World Wide Web. The Sony MHS-CM1 and MHS-PM1 Webbie HD cameras are able to record in a High Definition resolution of 1440x1080 pixels at a speed of 30 frames per second. In addition, 5 Megapixel pictures can be made. The Sony Webby cameras are compact and light enough to take them around wherever you go. Nice to use for the capture of daily moments, or to add to your Blog site. The included software serves to quickly and simply convert the video or photo data to enable publishing on the Internet. http://www.pma-show.com/0559/sony/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:24:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0557/samsung/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ As for the Samsung NX camera; it may have been introduced as a concept, but many things still remain unclear. There are no announcements whatsoever from Samsung about specifications that are not already in the press release, but as we look at the concept cameras showcased behind glass, we see features claimed like video capture. This makes us assume that the Samsung NX camera will be able to record videos. The DX format sensor that is going to be used in the future Samsung NX camera, is larger that that of the compact camera, which causes us to expect more from the image quality of this digital camera. http://www.pma-show.com/0557/samsung/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:22:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0556/digital-foci/accessories/accessory/ Digital Foci had a small booth somewhere in the back of the hall of the PMA 2009. A new product, called the Photo Book was showcased. Digital Foci introduces this product as a digital photo album with a built-in 8 inch TFT LCD screen and 4 GB internal memory. You could also turn it around and say that the Digital Foci Photo Book is a digital photo frame with a leather-like wrapping. The built-in battery lasts for 2.5 hours. Pictures can be uploaded to the internal memory via a card slot or the USB drive. CompactFlash, Secure Digital, SDHC, Memory Stick, MultiMedia Card and USB drives are all supported. It’s a nice idea, however, personally I would rather carry a portable photo viewer or use the picture sharing option on my mobile phone. http://www.pma-show.com/0556/digital-foci/accessories/accessory/ Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:20:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0554/sigma/digitalcameras/preview/ In addition to the many interviews, attending various lectures, and receiving the information about (upcoming) product introductions, I went out to take photos with several new digital cameras. One of which is the Sigma DP2 compact camera, and although not a final production model, we are already able to provide you with a number of test photos which were made in Las Vegas with the Sigma DP2. The Sigma DP2 digital camera was first mentioned during the Photokina 2008. At that time, the process of the development of the Sigma DP2 camera was announced. This time, however, during the PMA 2009, it has become clear that Sigma is ready to launch the Sigma DP2 and deliver the new camera to its distributors. http://www.pma-show.com/0554/sigma/digitalcameras/preview/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:50:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0553/sony/slrlens/zoomlens/ During the PMA, Sony Japan announced several new lenses; that is to say, they have announced the developments. It strikes us that hardly any announcements, if even any at all, were made about the Sony Alpha system during PMA 2009. A large showcase received a prominent place, showcasing the available lenses for the Alpha. Among them, we find the new concept lenses, which were announced rather inconspicuously by Sony Japan during the past week. It is not even likely that these concept models will actually appear on the market as Sony lenses. It's more about showing the possibilities of the Alpha system. http://www.pma-show.com/0553/sony/slrlens/zoomlens/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:45:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0552/olympus/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ During last year’s Photokina 2008 in Germany, the Micro FourThirds system was jointly introduced by Olympus and Panasonic. And although Panasonic pocketed the gain during the Photokina by introducing the Panasonic LUMIX G1 digital camera, Olympus was not forgotten, and curiosity about the plans of Olympus with this system stayed on. At the opening, Olympus showed a Micro FourThirds design concept to the international press, and afterwards to the public, with the announcement that this kind of concept belongs to the possibilities, but that it does not necessarily equal the end-product. http://www.pma-show.com/0552/olympus/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:40:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0551/fujifilm/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Fujifilm took a prototype of a 3D camera along to the PMA show 2009 in Las Vegas. In addition to a pair of concept 3D cameras we saw before at the Photokina 2008, a plastic bold; unfortunately with annoying reflection, held a new prototype 3D camera. Perhaps already a functioning model, since the LEDs of the camera were shown activated. The Fujifilm Real 3D imaging concept is a full system of a digital camera, printer and display, and is a very interesting branch of photography. However, even now, I can't imagine it becoming a product for the masses, but it certainly seems to become a nice accessory. http://www.pma-show.com/0551/fujifilm/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:35:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0550/hp/accessories/accessory/ Digital picture frames continue to try and conquer a larger market share, in order to become a standard accessory in homes world-wide. Various suppliers showcased their latest digital frames, with or without designer edge. All depends on your personal taste, of course, but I have seen some frames I'd certainly never want to have in my house. These digital picture frames often provide innovative functions. HP demonstrated the possibility to directly print the picture of the frame wirelessly with the accompanying remote control through one of HP's picture printers. We also noticed a striking amount of Bluetooth techniques and more multi-functionality of the frames. http://www.pma-show.com/0550/hp/accessories/accessory/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0549/ewa-marine/digitalcameras/underwaterhousing/ In one of the smaller booths, EWA Marine 'pops up'. EWA Marine is a brand that provides (under)water sports solutions for the wide array of digital electronic equipment that is available nowadays. And what's better than capturing the fabulous underwater wildlife with a digital camera? EWA Marine provides many affordable solutions for any digital compact or DSLR camera you can think of, allowing you to explore the underwater world. New during PMA is an underwater housing for those who love snorkeling. Not every person is able to go for scuba diving or has the possibility to do it. Snorkeling is an entirely different thing. http://www.pma-show.com/0549/ewa-marine/digitalcameras/underwaterhousing/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:25:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0548/pentax/digitalcameras/digitalcameraback/ According to a publication in the popular UK magazine Amateur Photographer, Pentax will appear at the next show in Japan with its digital medium format camera. A few years ago, Pentax announced the development of a digital medium format camera, and the model even received a name: Pentax 645 Digital. After that, however, the plan was stored on a shelf and seemed doomed to stay there. In an interview with John Carlson, product marketing and support manager of Pentax USA, Amateur Photographer was told that Pentax foresees possibilities on the Japanese market for this product. The upcoming Photo Imaging Expo, starting at the end of March in Tokyo, will be used to present the Pentax 645 Digital again. http://www.pma-show.com/0548/pentax/digitalcameras/digitalcameraback/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:20:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0547/pretec/storage/flashmemorycard/ Pretec, known to always be around at every consumer electronics show, brought a collection of obscure memory cards along, among which is a 100GB CompactFlash type II memory card. It so happened that I use a Nikon D3x digital SLR during photographing at the PMA 2009 in Las Vegas, and I was very curious to see if this 100GB CF working sample would function well in Nikon's flagship. Formatting was not the problem; however, the Nikon D3x camera doesn't like it at all. On its display, everything that is not supposed to blink, is blinking and I decide that this card will have to go without the D3x. http://www.pma-show.com/0547/pretec/storage/flashmemorycard/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:15:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0546/hoodman/accessories/accessory/ Hoodman once again brought some very handy accessories to the PMA show. With their striking yellow/black booth, Hoodman always attracts the attention. Hoodman knows how to convince the photographer of the use of certain accessories like the so-called 'Hoodloupe Professional'. This magnifier has to be placed on the back of the LCD monitor of the digital SLR, so that you can check the sharpness of a picture very precisely in addition to optimum reproduction. The new Hoodloupe Professional comes in a size up to 3 inches. Even more convenient is the possibility to wear the Loupe around your neck so you can quickly check a picture without having to attach the loupe to the display all the time. http://www.pma-show.com/0546/hoodman/accessories/accessory/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:10:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0545/delkin/digitalcameras/imagesensor/ We also spotted Delkin's Sensor-scope system at the PMA 2009. The cleaning set for DSLR image sensors, awarded with various Awards, has been enhanced since the last Photokina 2008, with support for three sizes of sensors: 24mm, 20mm, and 16mm sensors. I must admit I have not tried out the set personally, but colleagues that have are all very enthusiast about this (rather pricey) cleaning system. I fear the Sensorscope system will not remain a sales hit much longer, since gradually more and more digital SLR cameras are appearing on the market with a built-in anti-dust system. An expensive solution such as offered by Delkin will become unnecessary. http://www.pma-show.com/0545/delkin/digitalcameras/imagesensor/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:05:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0544/crumpler/accessories/casebag/ Crumpler, the well-known bag manufacturer, presented its line of camera bags in its very own way, as we should be used to by now. I made the effort to try and read some press releases on the Crumpler website, however; after 10 minutes I stopped searching. The navigation and trendy media communication drove me mad. I gave up, thinking that I too have finally fallen victim to the generation gap. Coming back to Crumpler's presentation of its camera bags line at the PMA 2009; some kind of paper castle hid the wide array of colorful bags, some of which were filled with rolls of toilet paper (?!). As I said; I don't seem to get the point, however; Crumpler considers its clientele smart enough to know that a Crumpler bag is actually meant to store a camera… http://www.pma-show.com/0544/crumpler/accessories/casebag/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:00:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0543/ewa-marine/accessories/casebag/ Neither water nor sand or hand covered in suntan lotion at the beach will now endanger the life of your personal cell phone.

Thanks to its excellent performance, this modernized version from the former Contax system sets new standards in this focal length class. "The outstanding correction of chromatic aberration enables photos without color fringes even in high-contrast light conditions", says Martin Klottig, Marketing Manager, Carl Zeiss Camera Lens Division. "Even at full aperture, the floating element design ensures optimum edge-to-edge image quality over the entire focusing range. And even in difficult light conditions, the new Zeiss Distagon provides excellent results thanks to its T* coating, optimum reflection reduction and exceptional chromatic correction." http://www.pma-show.com/0542/zeiss/slrlens/fixedfocallens/ Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:28:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0541/lensbabies/slrlens/speciallens/ Lensbaby announces a new 0.42x Super Wide Lens for use with their new line of selective focus lenses - The Composer, The Muse, The Control Freak and their companion Lensbaby Optic Swap System consisting of Double Glass, Single Glass, Plastic, and Pinhole/Zone plate interchangeable optics.

All Lensbaby lenses provide photographers with a new way to control depth of field by bringing one area of a photo into sharpest focus with that Sweet Spot surrounded by graduated blur. http://www.pma-show.com/0540/lensbabies/slrlens/speciallens/ Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:24:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0539/pentax/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Pentax Imaging has announced the Pentax X70 Megazoom digital camera featuring a high magnification 24X optical zoom lens with wide-angle to super-telephoto coverage housed in a highly portable, compact, lightweight body.

The Olympus E-620 is currently the world's smallest and most light-weight DSLR with built-in image stabilization. However; it's not only the weight that makes the E620 stand out from the crowd.

The introduction of the Micro Four Thirds system, in cooperation with Olympus, was a good start for Panasonic. In 2008, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G1 was awarded with the DIWA Gold Award for overall quality and the highly appreciated LUMIX G Vario 14-45mm kit lens. The official introduction of the Panasonic LUMIX GH1 is now a fact, and certainly creates high expectations. The Panasonic GH1 will take video capture with a DSLR to a different level. http://www.pma-show.com/0527/panasonic/digitalcameras/preview/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:35:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0526/panasonic/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Panasonic introduces the Lumix DMC-GH1 as a new member of the Lumix G Micro System of new generation interchangeable lens system cameras.

Continuous AF can be used while recording movies, to further boost operating ease. http://www.pma-show.com/0526/panasonic/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0525/panasonic/slrlens/zoomlens/ Panasonic unveils a standard interchange-able zoom lens called the Lumix G VARIO HD 14-140mm/F4.0-5.8 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. as a new member of the Lumix G Micro System.

Adopting the Micro Four Thirds System standard, the new lens offers a wide and long zoom range of 14-140mm (35mm camera equivalent: 28-280mm) to suit a large variety of shooting situations, from scenery to portraits or telephoto shots, in a surprisingly compact and lightweight body. http://www.pma-show.com/0525/panasonic/slrlens/zoomlens/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:20:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0524/panasonic/slrlens/zoomlens/ Panasonic unveils a new interchangeable ultra wide-angle zoom lens called the Panasonic Lumix G VARIO 7-14mm/F4.0 ASPH. In spite of its impressive wide-angle zoom range of 7-14mm (35mm camera equivalent; 14-28mm), the new lens is surprisingly compact and lightweight for casual on-the-go use. Taking advantage of its wide, 114-degree angle of view, users can easily fit subjects into the frame even when shooting indoors where the distance is limited. The world looks extraordinary when viewed through the new lens, allowing photos and movies to be recorded with a uniquely rich perspective. http://www.pma-show.com/0524/panasonic/slrlens/zoomlens/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:15:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0521/jvc/camcorder/camcorders/ JVC announced a new dual-use camera that shoots high definition video and high resolution digital still images.

This is not a big event; generally a few long rows of booths are put up, with a small representation of the brand. Additionally, it gives us the opportunity to make several appointments during or before PMA, and we're always happy to meet our friends and acquaintances again. All in all, a relaxed atmosphere and a warm-up for the annual PMA Imaging Convention and Trade Show 2009. http://www.pma-show.com/0511/letsgodigital/information/events/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0512/letsgodigital/information/events/ The beginning of a year always starts with several highly interesting events in which imaging plays a main role. The CES in Las Vegas has only just closed its doors, but there is much more coming up; in February there's the Mobile World Congress in which mobile imaging seems to gradually become more important, and in March it's the PMA 2009 show again in Las Vegas. These are hectic times in which all the manufacturers introduce their new series of DSLR cameras, compact cameras, phones, lenses and other accessories for the following season.

Due to its fixed focal length, the Nikon 50mm lens is considered as standard lens for the FX DSLR such as the Nikon D3x, D3, and D700. If the Nikon 50mm is mounted on a DX DLSR such as the Nikon D300, D90, D60, or D40x, the picture angle reaches 75mm, thanks to the 1.5x focal length multiplier on DX DSLR cameras. Both this Nikon lens and the Nikon D3x became available in December, so we decided to take the pair along on one of our strolls. http://www.pma-show.com/0505/nikon/digitalcameras/preview/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 20:00:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0506/nikon/digitalcameras/preview/ At the beginning of this year, Nikon introduced a new lens specifically designed for DX format cameras. Yet, thanks to the DX support, it is also possible to use the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G in combination with Nikon FX DSLR cameras. During my visit to the PMA in Las Vegas, I took the wide-angle lens along and used it in combination with the Nikon D3x. Two extremes, but with extensive Nikon support for Nikon products mutually, just as we have come to expect from Nikon. The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens provides a maximum aperture of f/1.8 for a nicely blurred background with a very small depth of field. What's more, the length of the lens does not change while focusing. http://www.pma-show.com/0506/nikon/digitalcameras/preview/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:55:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0507/fujifilm/digitalcameras/preview/ During the worldwide introduction of the new Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR, we were already able to provide a preview. During the PMA in Las Vegas, I took a production model of the Fujifilm F200EXR along to get started for the upcoming review. The Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is the first camera to feature the new Super CCD EXR image sensor. This sensor was officially introduced at the Photokina 2008 and is a technical innovation of which Fujifilm has very high expectations indeed. The history of Fujifilm sensors shows that a lot of effort is generally put into research, in order to improve pixel quality without prioritizing on pixel amounts. As far as we're concerned, this is an excellent choice. http://www.pma-show.com/0507/fujifilm/digitalcameras/preview/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:50:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0504/panasonic/digitalcameras/preview/ Just before the PMA, we were invited by Panasonic for a press event, held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. During the event I was given the opportunity to use the new Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ7. The Panasonic LUMIX TZ7 is Panasonic's flagship of the new assortment LUMIX digital cameras for the upcoming season. It is the successor to the TZ5 and Panasonic's hope to continue the successful Travel Zoom series. The specifications aren't bad at all upon first glance. Whereas the TZ5 distinguished itself by featuring a 10x optical zoom in a compact housing, the Panasonic TZ7 even surpasses this with a 12x zoom! This is enough to reach a range of 25-300mm (35mm equivalent) without any effect on the compact size. http://www.pma-show.com/0504/panasonic/digitalcameras/preview/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:45:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0503/samsung/digitalcameras/digitalslrcamera/ The answer to the question why Samsung hardly revealed any news during the Photokina 2008 could be the announcement of Samsung's new camera concept. At the time of writing this article, a few days before the PMA in Las Vegas kicks off, I have not yet managed to get hold of the Samsung NX camera. However, according to the information I received, Samsung may well be putting itself in the foreground during PMA. The new concept is likely to become a Samsung NX camera, a hybrid digital camera which could build bridges between the digital SLR and the compact camera. At first glance, the Samsung NX camera seems to use the best of both segments. http://www.pma-show.com/0503/samsung/digitalcameras/digitalslrcamera/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:40:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0502/olympus/digitalcameras/digitalslrcamera/ As children, our imaginations run wild and finger-painted artistic creations are proudly displayed on our family refrigerators. But as we grow older, we learn to color inside the lines, and have less and less time for art. We often lose touch with how satisfying it is to create something uniquely our own. Olympus delivers the new E-620 digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera to bring back that free-style experimenting and the magical feeling of being inspired by our own art. The new camera’s easy-to-use Art Filters and Multiple Exposures (built right into the camera) are fun for consumers - whether you’ve been shooting for years or picked up your first digital camera today. http://www.pma-show.com/0502/olympus/digitalcameras/digitalslrcamera/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:35:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0501/sony/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ The Sony Cyber-shot HX1 by Sony, teams stunning picture quality, lightning-fast shooting and powerful creative features in a stylish, supremely easy to use digital camera.

The Sneak Peak is taking place the day prior to the opening of the PMA 09 International Convention and Trade Show, and provides the photo imaging trade/consumer press the chance to meet with PMA exhibitors to discuss the newest imaging products, cutting-edge technologies and services in tabletop presentations. Unfortunately camera specifications were not available but from what we found out at the table is that the Kodak Z915 offers 10 Megapixels resolution, image stabilization system, 10x optical zoom and it will come available in four colors; grey, red, blue and black. http://www.pma-show.com/0500/kodak/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:25:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0508/sigma/slrlens/zoomlens/ Sigma announces the new Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM lens. This super-wide angle lens has a maximum aperture of F3.5 throughout the entire zoon range. Its wide angle of view from 102.4 degrees produces striking images with exaggerated perspective. The maximum aperture of F3.5 is ideal for indoor shooting and it enables photographers to emphasize the subject. Two ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements and a SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element provide excellent correction of color aberration. Four aspherical lenses provide correction for distortion and allow compact and lightweight construction. The Super Multi-Layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. http://www.pma-show.com/0508/sigma/slrlens/zoomlens/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:20:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0509/sigma/slrlens/zoomlens/ Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the new Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM lens.

This large aperture and anti-shale function is ideal for indoor photography and in low lighting condition.

The new Samsung GX-20 has not officially been launched yet, but according to the information of Aronsen, importer and supplier of Samsung and other brands, the Samsung GX20 is expected to occupy the shop-shelves in March. The Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2008 has only just ended but we are already preparing for the PMA show coming up also in Las Vegas. The official Samsung GX-20 Digital SLR introduction is likely to take place just before the start of this show. For now we have to settle for some scarce data. http://www.pma-show.com/0339/samsung/digitalcameras/digitalslrcamera/ Wed, 02 Jan 2008 11:07:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0316/nikon/digitalcameras/underwaterhousing/ The M/V Shearwater departs from West Palm Beach (Florida) towards the Bahamas where we go on our shark expedition. During this expedition we are searching for large sharks such as the tiger shark, the bull shark and the great hammerhead shark. The Nikon D80 in combination with the Nikon 12-24mm lens will capture a very special experience. I am nervous about what is to come. I do not know if they are healthy nerves or if they are nerves that make me ask myself if I should have booked this trip... After a very rough passage from West Palm Beach to the Bahamas I prepare my camera in the morning. http://www.pma-show.com/0316/nikon/digitalcameras/underwaterhousing/ Sat, 15 Dec 2007 15:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0315/apple/mobilephone/videoplayer/ The 16GB Apple iPod touch came in a surprisingly compact reatail box; only inches larger than the Apple iPod touch itself. The iPod box contains a quick guide in 6 languages, Apple earplugs, a USB cable, an iPod connector with a transparent hook, a polishing cloth for cleaning the iPod and of course the iPod itself. The iPod touch comes with a fully loaded battery, so it is not necessary to charge the battery before using the iPod touch. The Apple iPod touch has only one dedicated button at its disposal, just as the iPhone, with one function to return to the main menu or in case screen deactivation is on, to activate the screen of the Apple iPod in combination with a sliding movement on the touch screen. http://www.pma-show.com/0315/apple/mobilephone/videoplayer/ Sat, 15 Dec 2007 14:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0314/canon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Sometimes digital camera manufacturers actually listen to testers and users of digital cameras. In any case Canon did when developing the PowerShot G7. A terrific camera except for one minus; no RAW format was available and especially the photographer wanting a compact camera besides his DSLR was disappointed. But the successor, the Canon PowerShot G9, does offer RAW format making this top compact camera a very interesting one for the demanding and the professional photographer. Adding RAW format is not the only thing Canon has changed on the G9. The Canon G9 is now equipped with a new image sensor with 12 million pixels. http://www.pma-show.com/0314/canon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Fri, 07 Dec 2007 09:16:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0313/ricoh/digitalcameras/preview/ Two years have already passed since Ricoh digitalized the famous GR camera and introduced the GR Digital. In September 2005 I received a pre-production model of the Ricoh GR Digital and now, two years later, the successor lies in front of me: the Ricoh GR Digital II. Over the past few years many hundreds of new digital cameras have been introduced and to say that each and every one of them is a unique piece, would be exaggerated. The majority of these digital cameras belongs to the compact camera category and these cameras offer more or less the same functions and quality compared with each other. Once in a blue moon a camera will stand out and boost on a unique concept. http://www.pma-show.com/0313/ricoh/digitalcameras/preview/ Fri, 07 Dec 2007 08:54:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0312/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ During a short stay in Florence, Italy, I used the new Nikon D3 professional digital SLR camera mainly in the evening and on many beautiful historical places, mostly inside museums and old buildings, to take a number of test pictures. Already various reactions of preproduction model testers and professional photographers have been published and in general one can say that the Nikon D3 is an impressive new Digital SLR and a strong weapon for Nikon to (re)gain their share of the professional photography market. I have used the Nikon D3 in combination with the new AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED and the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lenses and additionally the 10.5mm f/2.8G ED DX Fisheye Nikkor. http://www.pma-show.com/0312/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Fri, 07 Dec 2007 07:44:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0311/olympus/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Not even 3 weeks after returning from my trip to Kenya, where I attended the EOS Safari on the invitation of Canon, I found the next invitation on my digital doormat. This time it concerned an invitation from Olympus to Istanbul, Turkey, for the introduction of the long expected successor of the E1 to the press. Journalists from all over the world were flown into Turkey in groups to join the ten day event. Besides a number of Dutch colleagues, the Belgian and English press were also present during my stay. Upon our arrival at Istanbul's Atatürk airport a bus took us to the famous Topkapi palace. A guide gave us a tour through this beautiful cultural heritage and we were able to visit a few sections. http://www.pma-show.com/0311/olympus/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Fri, 23 Nov 2007 22:56:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0310/sony/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ The Sony Alpha A700 is equipped with a newly developed 12.2 MP CMOS image sensor and works with a focal length multiplier of 1.5x. The housing consists of a combination of aluminum alloy and polycarbonate and is mostly waterproof and dustproof thanks to extra attention that has been paid to the closure of covers etc. The weight of a tad less than 800 grams (778 grams without lens) is pleasant to work with and makes the camera lie stable in my hand. The beautiful large sized LCD screen on the back of the Sony A700 is definitely breathtaking. This 3-inch high resolution LCD screen surely adds a surplus value to this camera. http://www.pma-show.com/0310/sony/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:01:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0309/lg/mobilephone/cameraphone/ LG announced the direct availability of the 5 Megapixel LG Viewty camera phone for European consumers.

Two brand new mobile phones that appear to take a part of the entry level digital camera market. The LG Viewty is the direct competitor of the Samsung G800, both camera phones are loaded with high-tech features never seen before on a cell phone. http://www.pma-show.com/0309/lg/mobilephone/cameraphone/ Thu, 25 Oct 2007 18:40:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0308/sony/digitalcameras/digitalcamera/ Ready to share your precious moments without any limit?

The Porsche mobile phone lives up to these standards; it is a real eye-catcher. Its weight of 140 grams does not make the P'9521 a lightweight but it makes him feel very solid. The high quality finishing is superb with materials like glass and aluminium used as a base. The tight curves with black glass and the brushed aluminium hinge provide the right finishing touch. The Porsche Design cell phone is not ultra thin but thin and compact enough with its dimensions of 91x48x18.4mm to be carried around in a trouser-pocket. http://www.pma-show.com/0305/sagem/mobilephone/cameraphone/ Wed, 17 Oct 2007 13:03:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0304/panasonic/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ The successor of the Lumix DMC-TZ1, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3, was introduced in January 2007. Did the Panasonic TZ1 impress us with its compact size and onboard 10x Leica zoom lens; the Panasonic Lumix TZ3 digital camera even exceeds its predecessor. The resolution went up to 7 Megapixels and even more important, the focal range, although staying the same with its 10x optical zoom, gained a wide angle. As a result, this compactcamera has a fine 28-280mm range, absolutely a good achievement. It means that Panasonic is one of few manufacturers to deliver a digital compact camera with an optical zoom lens that is able to offer wide angle. http://www.pma-show.com/0304/panasonic/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:42:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0303/nokia/mobilephone/cameraphone/ The Nokia N95 8GB mobile phone made its debut global shipments today, and will be hitting a retail shop near you soon.

According to LetsGoMobile: “Samsung have been active on the mobile phone market for quite some years now and already have several successes on their name. Nowadays, the mobiles get more and more extensive. In the beginning of this year the Nokia N95 was introduced; a mobile phone with a 5 Megapixel camera. Sony Ericsson followed with the K850i and now Samsung too with the G600. The Samsung G600 is a so-called slider mobile with extensive features, including a 5 Megapixel digital camera.” To make use the 5 Megapixel autofocus digital camera you need to open the G600 mobile phone. http://www.pma-show.com/0302/samsung/mobilephone/cameraphone/ Tue, 09 Oct 2007 10:06:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0301/sony/digitalcameras/preview/ The new Sony Alpha A700 was launched during a Sony press conference in Italy. Unfortunately, the surprise element was lost because one day earlier the Alpha introduction was disturbed by a leak caused by Sony. The Sony Alpha 700 is Sony’s second digital SLR camera that has to contribute to a continuously compiling series of SLR cameras, with which Sony manifests itself as renowned DSLR manufacturer. The Sony DSLR A700 is a digital SLR camera which is positioned in the middle segment, and with that, has to compete (heavily) with the new collection of Canon and Nikon D-SLR cameras, among others. During my stay in Italy, I had the chance to work with the Sony A700 for a short period. http://www.pma-show.com/0301/sony/digitalcameras/preview/ Tue, 11 Sep 2007 19:51:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0300/canon/digitalcameras/digitalslrcamera/ Canon introduces its latest digital SLR for advanced amateurs and semi-professionals: the Canon EOS 40D. With a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 6.5 frames per second burst performance, a newly developed AF system and 3.0” LCD with Live View mode, the Canon EOS 40D makes significant advances in both performance and versatility.

"The iZAP battery was a life-saver during my business trip to China last week," said Apple iPhone owner Steve Schneider, Chief Executive Officer for ZAP. "Frankly, if an Apple iPod runs out of power, losing your music and photo or video is not as critical to your business trip as the Apple iPhone. You lose your cell phone access, text messages, Internet and email access, time zone clock, business notes, scheduling software, driving maps, calculator and all the other news and information for which the Apple iPhone was designed." http://www.pma-show.com/0292/apple/accessories/battery/ Tue, 07 Aug 2007 18:37:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0291/casio/mobilephone/cameraphone/ Digital camera enthusiasts are all familiar with the Exilim series Casio offers, but we still have to see the first Exilim mobile phone to reach the market outside Asia. Casio Korea is proud to introduce their high resolution mobile camera phone; the Casio Exilim Keitai W53CA. Unfortunately, for now, we will not be able to get a sample in our hands because the Casio Keitai W53CA is for the Asian (Japan) market only. Casio is one of the pioneers of the digital camera market and is already active for more than a decade. The stunning designed Exilim cameras are famous all over the world and often copied by the competition. http://www.pma-show.com/0291/casio/mobilephone/cameraphone/ Tue, 07 Aug 2007 12:30:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0290/nokia/mobilephone/cameraphone/ Nokia unveiled the Prism collection, its latest range of mobile phones aimed at style-conscious consumers.

The new Hitachi DZ-BD70A Blu-Ray camcorder is a single drive camcorder that can record approximately one hour of FullHD 1920x1080 high definition video on an 8cm single-sided Blu-ray disc (BD-R and BD-RE). Lifelike image reproduction and rich, immersive color are a result of Hitachi’s 5.3 mega pixel CMOS image sensor and HD quality 12-element lens system. Both Blu-Ray camcorders come with an Interactive Guide built-in so that people who have never used a camcorder can quickly begin. http://www.pma-show.com/0287/hitachi/camcorder/hdcamcorder/ Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:36:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0286/ricoh/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Many photographers dream of a compact digital camera with a fine zoom range, including a true wide-angle, one that gives a high resolution and can also store images in RAW. Until recently this remained just a dream. But fortunately there is the opinionated Ricoh, who seems to make the dream come true. With the DIWA Gold Award rewarded GR Digital, Ricoh already has an exceptional camera with a fine wide-angle and RAW support. The Ricoh Caplio GX100 takes it a step further: more wide-angle, more pixels and an optical zoom including image stabilization. What more can a photographer ask for? We have tested the Ricoh Caplio GX100 in our test lab, to explore if the camera truly lives up to the expectations. http://www.pma-show.com/0286/ricoh/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Mon, 06 Aug 2007 13:15:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0285/samsung/mobilephone/cameraphone/ LetsGoMobile reviewed the Samsung U600 mobile phone.

The Panasonic FZ18 is a camera for the photographer who is into a variety of photographic shooting. Although the camera is easy to handle and incorporates a range of pre-programmed scenes, it is offering a range of photographic settings like P/S/A/M for the more experienced photographer. I took the Panasonic camera with me to the Dublin area and was able to test the new intelligent camera features in combination with the MEGA O.I.S system. I have to remind you that the images of the Panasonic Lumix FZ18 are still a pre-production level, not final level! http://www.pma-show.com/0280/panasonic/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Tue, 24 Jul 2007 09:00:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0281/panasonic/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ At the press conference in Dublin I was able to shoot with the new stylish Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 compact camera.

DIWA members from Europe and North America continuously test and review digital imaging products. For digital cameras, more than 200 details must be checked, tested and evaluated. Each review is then carefully monitored and compared by DIWA to ensure error free, reliable and comprehensive test results. Each year, all gold winners from the previous year are re-evaluated by the 10 member websites of the DIWA organization. The very best from each of the three digital camera categories are honored with a DIWA Platinum Award. For 2006, the DIWA group of experts has selected the following digital cameras from Fujifilm, Panasonic and Nikon to win the prestigious DIWA Platinum Award: http://www.pma-show.com/0279/diwaawards/information/awards/ Wed, 04 Jul 2007 16:05:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0278/casio/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ We have had the Casio Exilim V7 compact camera at our office for a long time, and we have made a lot of test shots in Amsterdam, among others. The new Casio Exilim EX-V7 was officially introduced at the start of 2007, and has been available quite recently. At the moment the Casio EX-V7 is the only line of Exilim camera with a 7x optical zoom lens. This is also its unique characteristic, as even with the 7x optical zoom, it maintains its slim, compact form. Additionally, the Casio Exilim V7 has a CCD stabiliser system, and a new processor: the Exilim Engine 2.0. Casio is one of the pioneers of the digital camera market and is outstanding for integrating innovative image solutions in its compact cameras. http://www.pma-show.com/0278/casio/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Wed, 04 Jul 2007 14:34:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0277/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ When testing the Nikon Coolpix P5000 digital compact camera, I took it along when I visited a piece of Dutch railway history, the Railway museum in Utrecht. The Railway museum is located in the Maliebaan station and gives visitors a glimpse of the past. Most of the test pictures were taken inside the railway museum, including a large depot where diverse old trains stand established. The lighting conditions were full of contrast ; darkness between the trains with spots of sunlight from the roof here and there. Although the Nikon Coolpix P5000 compact camera has an optical image stabilizer, I had to use a high ISO regularly to achieve the desired shutter speed or aperture. http://www.pma-show.com/0277/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Wed, 04 Jul 2007 13:54:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0276/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ I have had the Nikon Coolpix S500 digital compact camera at our office for a long time, and I have made a lot of test shots during my visit the Arch National Park in the Unites States. The new Nikon CoolPix S500 digital camera was officially introduced at the start of 2007, just before the opening of the PMA Show in Las Vegas. The Nikon Coolpix S500 offers a resolution of 7.1 effective Megapixels, an advanced in-camera image processing and a 3x optical zoom lens (range of 35-105mm on 35mm camera). The Nikon CoolPix S500 powers up in a quick 0.8 seconds and has a practically imperceptible shutter release time lag of less than 0.005 seconds. Interesting specifications packed in a very compact and solid housing and most of all fully automatic operation. http://www.pma-show.com/0276/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Wed, 04 Jul 2007 13:31:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0275/kodak/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Just before the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) started in 2006, Kodak introduced its first dual lens digital camera; de Kodak V570. Its successor, the Kodak EasyShare V705 was announced just over six months later and will be the subject of the following digital camera review. Although a dual lens camera, the Kodak V610, has appeared in the meantime, this turned out to be a camera with the emphasis on tele range (10x optical) instead of 5x optical as with the Kodak V570. The extra wide-angle range of 23mm in particular, a rare exception in a compact camera, makes the Kodak EasyShare V705 an interesting digital camera. http://www.pma-show.com/0275/kodak/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Fri, 13 Apr 2007 11:40:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0263/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ We just received a sample of the Nikon D40x SLR camera in combination with the new AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED lens. The new Nikon D40x and the lens were introduced just a few days before the PMA 2007 in Las Vegas opened. The Nikon D40x is the big brother in terms of resolution, ISO setting, energy consumption and continuous shooting speed, and is designed as a twin brother of the D40 DSLR camera. The lens is a great combination with the Nikon D40x camera. It focuses quite fast and of course the Vibration Reduction feature helps the photographer to prevent blurring while tele-shooting. Additional the D40x offers high ISO up to 3200 resulting into high shutter speeds. http://www.pma-show.com/0263/nikon/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Mon, 02 Apr 2007 15:10:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0274/fujifilm/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ One thing became very clear with Fujifilm, at the Photokina 2006 : face detection is going to be it! And the technique is ready to be built in cameras standard. With this, Fujifilm can fall back on their extensive knowledge of minilabs. There, the technique has been used for years, among other things, to be able to tune colours perfectly. One of the first models with face detection is the Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd. The indication fd stands for face detection. The sensor is building another very important part of the Real Photo Technology. Fujifilm has been using the Super CCD for a long time, and the Fujifilm S6500fd has been equipped with the 6th generation already, the Super CCD VI HR. http://www.pma-show.com/0274/fujifilm/digitalcameras/digitalcamerareview/ Mon, 02 Apr 2007 15:03:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0273/letsgodigital/information/events/ Although the major part of the new cameras has been introduced long before the PMA 2007 started, it is always a pleasure to attend the PMA. Besides visiting the booths, we centre on numerous conversations with new and existing contacts and at the same time it is a joy to annually meet our colleagues. The location of this year's PMA was Las Vegas and not Orlando, to the mere delight of most of us. It remains the ideal mixture: entertainment and photography. And Las Vegas is one of the most suitable places to offer such an event. According to the information I received we will be able to visit the PMA on this very same location for the next few years and Orlando is left out for a while. http://www.pma-show.com/0273/letsgodigital/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:00:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0272/canon/information/events/ The Canon booth at the PMA 2007 Las Vegas is as always overwhelmingly large and outsized. The Canon digital imaging booth is overcrowded and people are fascinated by the large series of compact camera models and of course the new race-monster, the world's fastest digital SLR camera; the Canon EOS 1D Mark III. The year 2007 is a brilliant year for Canon. Not only because Canon has conquered and still holds an important market share but also because it is exactly seventy years ago that the first Canon camera was born. It was the Canon S and the first one in a long array of successful cameras. Also the step from analogue to digital was carried out incredibly fast and on a professional level. http://www.pma-show.com/0272/canon/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:59:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0271/hp/information/events/ Naturally HP was also present at the PMA and in their huge booth, packed with new printing solutions, HP gave us an impression of their new assortment for the upcoming season. Many printing stations were being demonstrated, from compact printing kiosks that don't take up much room on a counter for example, to large printing kiosks for consumer self-service for ordering and printing digital images in no-time. During my visit at HP something weird had happened; after visiting the booth and chitchatting with my contacts I started photographing the booth and the displayed products. Something we are used to do for many years now and had been looked upon as the most common thing on earth, until recently. http://www.pma-show.com/0271/hp/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:58:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0270/hiti/information/events/ Printer manufacturer HiTi was also present at the PMA 2007 show in Las Vegas (Nevada). The HiTi booth was not that huge, but they did not bring fewer printers with them. Besides their current assortment of photo printers such as the DIMA 2006 winner Digital Photo Printer Shootout-winning S400; the HiTi 730PS printer and the new HiTi BS-iD400 photo printer had been showcased at the show. The new Hi-Touch BS-G400 is being forwarded by HiTi to participate in the contest for an Award in the DIMA 2007 Digital Photo Printer Shootout. The HiTi photo printer is equipped with a large size 2.5 inch LCD monitor enabling easy and fast operation without the need for a personal computer. http://www.pma-show.com/0270/hiti/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:57:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0269/kodak/information/events/ Naturally Kodak couldn't fail to present themselves at this PMA 2007 show being a home player. The size of the Kodak booth at the Las Vegas convention centre was remarkably compact and therefore very well-organized. What used to surprise one in the old days, seems no longer the case and Kodak seem to have lost their former size as giant among the exhibitors. The digital compact cameras that had been introduced during the PMA were of course showcased on the docking stations that are nowadays looked upon as a standard. Striking is the new Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS digital camera with its inbuilt image stabilizer. Fortunately Kodak carries on with their trend of optical image stabilizers. http://www.pma-show.com/0269/kodak/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:56:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0268/nikon/information/events/ Nikon always attract the attention; same thing happened at the PMA 2007 show in Las Vegas. Events like the Photo Marketing Association are excellent occasions for Nikon to show the consumer everything they have to offer. And it still impresses to witness the amount of lenses, equipment and other accessories available for Nikon's digital SLR and compact cameras. Whether it concerns standard photography or professional photography; Nikon offer the solution. Although many of us thought it was about time for Nikon to announce a new professional SLR camera; during the PMA 2007 emphasis had been placed on the Nikon Coolpix compact camera and a new digital SLR for the entry-level consumer. http://www.pma-show.com/0268/nikon/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:55:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0267/olympus/information/events/ The Olympus booth once again showed that Olympus impress with their FourThirds system. The amount of lenses for this system has increased extremely speedy and now offers a wide range for both the amateur and professional photographer. We have noticed that Olympus is quite capable of offering the consumers what they want concerning the low and middle segment but we are still waiting for a real professional SLR camera. Olympus keep us in suspense and even after showing an advanced prototype digital SLR camera one can only guess for its real specifications. Still; it seems Olympus are well on their way. Behind glass we spot the prototype of the advanced SLR that doesn't seem to need any alterations on the body. http://www.pma-show.com/0267/olympus/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:54:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0266/sandisk/information/events/ It seemed somewhat unusual to find out that SanDisk did not use the PMA 2007 for massive introduction of new or upgraded products. Only small announcements were made, like the introduction of the SanDisk 8GB Ultra II SDHC memory card and an enhancement of the Extreme III assortment, but that was all. The flash memory market is going through incredibly vigorous times. Prices have been dropping as they never have before and even the smallest providers went along in this flow; more or less forced by the competition. Most providers know they can't keep up for long. SanDisk announced even before the PMA in Las Vegas started that they will take their precautions to be able to get along. http://www.pma-show.com/0266/sandisk/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:53:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0265/sigma/information/events/ For Sigma, the latest Photokina has been an important event. Not only for them being a lens manufacturer but also a camera manufacturer. At that time Sigma introduced the Sigma SD14, a digital SLR camera based on the deviated Foveon X3 image sensor. Besides that Sigma introduced the DP1 digital compact camera that has been equipped with the Foveon image sensor. Not one of these cameras had reached the final stage then and the availability of the Sigma SD14 was even postponed. But at the PMA 2007 Sigma announced the availability of the Sigma SD14 digital SLR and the first results are starting to appear here and there on a users forum and on different web sites of the true Sigma lovers. http://www.pma-show.com/0265/sigma/information/events/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:52:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0264/sonyericsson/information/events/ Besides a large amount of digital compact cameras, among them the new Sony Cybershot DSC-W200, one of the world's first 12 Megapixel digital cameras, a twosome Alpha concept digital SLR cameras has been showcased together with some eight new lenses.

This increase in capacity results in fewer cartridge changes. http://www.pma-show.com/0217/fujifilm/accessories/accessory/ Sat, 10 Mar 2007 16:12:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0233/edge/accessories/battery/ Energizer e2 Lithium will be at PMA again this year illustrating its superiority as the longest-lasting AA and AAA batteries in high-tech devices. While the performance advantage is clearly evident in digital camera comparisons - 630 pictures with Energizer e2 Lithium vs. 90 with leading ordinary alkaline - there are many more devices that these batteries will provide the longest-lasting performance in including MP3 players, wireless headsets, LEGO Mindstorms NXT Robotics Tool kits, the Apple Mighty Mouse, handheld GPS systems and CD players. Many of these devices will be available to examine at the Digital Focus!, an event preceding the start of PMA. http://www.pma-show.com/0233/edge/accessories/battery/ Sat, 10 Mar 2007 16:11:00 GMT http://www.pma-show.com/0215/fujifilm/printer/minilab/ Fujifilm USA, announced the Frontier 710 Digital Lab System.
