Pasini Reports: Back to the Show

22:47 EST - We were able to spend the day on the floor of the trade show Friday -- just enough time to whet our appetites.

We take a look at two more ways to do digital photo frames, each with some interesting twists. Then we describe GE's entry into the market and HP's latest foray. We also find a home book binding system that's affordable, fast, clean, easy and can even be reversed. And we talk a bit about Panasonic's Digital Photo Academy featuring local pros you can contact long after the sessions are over. See our... (More)

Nikon booth report goes online

20:45 EST - Our almost-like-you're-here tour of PMA continues with a look at the booth of camera giant Nikon.

The company had a whopping eight compact camera announcements in the runup to the show, and also unveiled a ten megapixel update to the Nikon D40 digital SLR, in the form of the new D40x (there's more to the updates than mere resolution though, as you'll find in the report!) Whether you're a fan of Nikon, or just want to see what the competition has on offer, you'll want to read our PMA '07 Nikon... (More)

The company made several announcements before the show both in the Secure Digital High Capacity and Memory Stick PRO Duo formats. The additional cards take the company to new speed and capacity highs, and a magic show on the booth attracts attention of passers-by.

Panasonic booth report posted!

17:32 EST - Next up on our rapidly growing list of booth reports, we've taken a look at Panasonic.

The company's booth at PMA 2007 offers everything from compact digital cameras, SLR products, and camera accessories to camcorders and video editing solutions - not to mention musical accompaniment (something of a theme for the booth, it seems), and there's even a couple of eye-catching motorcycles on display for photographers to try the product out on. For the full story, be sure and take a look... (More)

IR Crew Posts Over 20 PMA Videos -- And Counting!

13:55 EST - As a courtesy to our RSS feed subscribers, here's a list of our current PMA video segments.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Our two video teams have been setting new records for video production at PMA 2007.

Doing the Trade Show Bump & Grind

10:51 EST - After being jostled on our way out of the building to post our 10 Minute Tour, we return in the afternoon to find everything from LEDs to chocolate, digital frames to server appliances -- and more.

Thursday afforded us just an afternoon on the show floor, but that was enough to find a few interesting booths. Our first floor report includes coverage of CameraBright!, Smartparts, Lexar, Chocolography, Green Clean, Zigview S2 and Twin1, the International Photography Hall of Fame, SeeFile and a small note on Canon. Read our report for the details. (More)

Canon's Gallery of Classics

01:13 EST - What's a 20th Anniversary without a parade?

Canon is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the EOS system this year. In addition to a gala event at the Venetian Thursday night for press and industry analysts, the company has assembled a number of classics from the past in a display at their PMA booth. We toured the display today and shot a few of our favorites and have assembled an HTML gallery of those classic Canons. The cameras are identified... (More)

Olympus booth report now live

00:31 EST - We've just posted yet another in our series of booth reports, this time covering the Olympus booth and products.

Two of the company's products in particular seem to have caught a lot of attention this year - the Olympus EVOLT E-410 and E-510 digital SLRs. There's also a new concept model of the company's upcoming professional digital SLR, which should be replacing the existing (and now somewhat long-in-the-tooth) E-1 model. For these and more, hop on over to our Olympus booth report, and then be sure to browse... (More)

Olympus Exposes E-Pro Concept Camera

00:21 EST - Olympus was kind enough to take the bullet-proof glass (just kidding) off its E-Pro Concept camera for us today after the show closed.

We got plenty of video and a set of stills to whet your appetite. Our video segment includes a discussion of the camera's features with Olympus's Sally Smith-Clemens. We've also got a Flash slideshow and HTML gallery of the unveiling. Don't Touch! But see the Flash slideshow or HTML gallery.The company's flagship interchangeable-lens dSLR camera will be the successor to the E-1 but has not been named... (More)
