PMA 2008 DSLR wrap-up
This year’s PMA has been nothing but exciting for DSLR cameras. The great news is that Canon and Nikon are no more alone in the arena. Of course we have the issue of legacy lens and photographer resistance to change when they have been served by their cameras for year on end…
The show’s disappointment? For me the fact that Canon did not replace its 5D with a newer model, but of course it is their regular practise to only release one major model per show. We will have more chances for this later in the year. Full-frame sensors are Canon’s strong card as it has the longest history and a proven record. If the 5D successor comes in at a low enough price point to become competitive against smaller sensor DSLRs it will be the most exciting development I could expect this year…
The show’s high point? Sony of course that presented two new models -A300 and A350- so quickly after the A200, with additionally plans to get in the full frame sensor game. The folks at Engadget have taken some more pictures of the upcoming 25 megapixel monster that you can check out here.
