Lowepro had some new camera cases at PMA this year, including an updated version of their popular Topload Zoom AW, the new Toploader Pro AW. The Toploader Pro AW incorporates some thoughtful refinements to the old case that look like they’ll make a real difference for outdoor photographers. Lowepro product manager Tim Grimmer gave us […]

I visited the Lowepro booth at PMA this year and got some demos of new camera cases, including the cool new Flipside 400 AW backpack. I’m seeing more and more innovation in camera backpack design – especially when it comes to quick camera access. The Flipside 400 AW is full-featured pro-sized camera backpack with a […]

This year’s PMA tradeshow was my first chance to see the Sony Alpha A900 in person. They previewed it behind glass at last year’s show and finally introduced it at Photokina, in the fall. The Sony A900 is a 24-megapixel, full-frame, professional digital SLR, and the first and only digital SLR with an image-stabilized full-frame […]

Read More »Canon Tilt-Shift Lens Demo Video
Canon announced two new tilt/shift lenses just before the annual PMA tradeshow. The TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II and the TS-E 17mm f/4L Tilt-Shift lenses were both on display at Canon’s PMA booth, although they wouldn’t let us mount either one on smartwombat’s Canon EOS 1Ds because they’re still in prototype form. They did let us […]
Read More »Shootsac Camera Bag Video Demo
I first became aware of camera bag maker Shootsac, via photographers on Twitter. I got to see the bags for this first time at the annual PMA tradeshow, last week. They’re very simple, attractive and a really good idea for wedding and event photographers who need to keep critical lenses and a flash on their […]
Read More »Indestructable Hoya HD Filter
I think the most impressive thing I saw at PMA this year was Hoya’s new HD filter demo. “HD” in this case stands for “hardened,” not high definition. The glass is made to withstand the impact of steel balls dropped from a height of 50 inches. So the filter is impressive in and of itself. […]

More and more photographers are getting interested in being able to save GPS information with their digital photos. The geotagging enthusiasts at the German company foolography have introduced a new wireless solution for people who want to collect and save GPS data with their photos. The new Unleashed module connects wirelessly to any Bluetooth GPS […]

This time, it’s handling a product that makes me scream WHAT? The Samsung HMX-H106 in this case, the controls on the screen in particular. The more observant among you may have spotted it. But it really shows when you use it.

Last year, Fujifilm had a prototype folding medium format camera in their booth that all the film shooters were drooling over (see photo below, taken at PMA 2008 by walterick). I made sure to ask about the camera when I met with the Fujifilm folks at PMA this time. The rep I spoke to said […]

Film shooters will be happy to know that there was film at PMA this year. Although they weren’t exactly showing it off, both Fujifilm and Kodak had film on display at the show. Fujifilm had it stashed in the back of their booth but they had slide film, print film, and their instant film. Kodak […]
Read More »Fuji Real 3D Concept
With two lenses, two processors, and a 3D LCD display, this camera takes 3D still and video images. It can also use the two lenses independently, one still one video, or one wide angle one telephoto, for traditional 2D imaging. Unfortunately, like showing HD on regular TV, it’s hard to show the 3D effect here.

Olympus didn’t introduce their hoped-for Micro Four Thirds camera at PMA this year, although they did have a concept camera behind glass in their booth. This is the same camera they showed behind glass at Photokina, last year. There’s not much to learn from looking at the Olympus Micro Four Thirds concept camera except that […]
