WHAT'S NEW AT PHOTOKINA

Köln; DEUTSCHLAND 24 september 2008.

After 24 hours having started Photokina one can guess already what will be the future trends in the digital photo cameras world.

Full format sensors are what’ll matter from now on for the digital single lens reflex pro. The first and the most important trend is that the big photo brands NIKON and CANON got back to full format 24x36 for their digitals SLR pros. Sony a brand without experience in the field of professional photo wants to take a piece of this cake hence DSLR 24,6 Mp full format 24X36.
