As PMA 2008 closes, Gizmodo gives a rundown of some of the more notable devices spotted at the annual event. Their collection includes a couple of hands-on reviews of the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW, Panasonic Lumix TZ5 and the new Canon 450D which we mentioned in an earlier post. They also feature Sony’s monstrous 25-megapixel full-frame sensor DSLR that also got the attention of Engadget.
Samsung also took advantage of the opportunity to announce that they will be integrating their digital camera division more closely with the rest of their consumer tech operations. This is a great development which can only lead to greater products in the future.
For those not familiar with PMA, it’s like the CES of photography wherein the latest and coolest gear from leading manufacturers in the industry get to show off their newest toys. There are also seminars for photography enthusiasts, but for us geeks who can’t really be there in the flesh; it’s the new gadgets on display that we look out for.
I guess the closest thing we have locally to PMA is Photoworld Asia which is on its final day today at the Gorietta Activity Center in Ayala, Makati City. It's not as extravagant, but its a great venue to learn new stuff and avail of great discounts as well.
