From 23 to 28 September in Cologne Photokina 2008, - the fair, will set the standards for new trends in photography.
About 9 million digital cameras this year go raves in Germany over the counter and Constanze Clauss, spokeswoman for the Photographic Industry Association: "Germany is the land of the photographer." In this respect, it is not surprising that more than 1,500 exhibitors want to leave their scent mark in Cologne.
What surprised, however, the fact that the pixel madness has no end: "For the compact cameras we will reach 15 million pixels." And with the SLR cameras at the show could have models with 24 million pixel resolution to be seen. Star is at the Sony booth as the SLR a900. According to the manufacturer is the world's first full frame digital SLR with 24.6 megapixel resolution. "- Said Ms. Clauss
full-frame cameras once left outside (as the professionals to look forward rather than more pixels) is . everything else more or less a PR stunt at a level below the belt line Bettina Steeger Canon confirms this indirectly: "It must always be a few horsepower to be more - even if you use it even can not." The comparison is hampered in this respect. in that a more hp in the car or motorcycle very well and feel positive - assuming good tires - Can bring to the streets. The small miniature sensors of the compact (and, now, many entry-level SLR cameras) can deal with more of pixels not really now.
really interesting - at least for me - offers in the area of individual GPS navigation will be - the little receiver for the satellite-based global positioning systems that help to photos after properly attributable to a photo location.
Another trend that I am unable to follow, the special form of facial recognition as so-called Lächelautomatik - the camera is triggered when the person smiles. This standard, first in a compact camera technology is now feeding in camcorders. With the HDR-CX11E, Sony introduced the first camcorder with claims to so-called smile-shutter function as the means Lächelautomatik at Sony: During the film, the camcorder automatically takes photos of smiling, or at least smiling people.
If you need this is poor in my eyes, remember: No matter how intelligent automation of the world is able to convey moods and feelings as it is a good photographer or (in the latter example) cameraman can. Who can not develop emotions for his hobby or his job, which does not help even a very ausgetüfelte automatic.
course this is my personal opinion. And with this small preview of the Photokina 2008, I will leave it there - perhaps there is in the later look back at this event but things that are newsworthy.
