Digital Sizzles in the Desert
In this week’s Sunday morning column Mike Johnston shares his thoughts with us on the PMA show:
“I have to admit I’m utterly dazzled by the torrent of news coming out of Las Vegas. Is digital exploding, or what?
If I remember correctly, it was 1998 when my doctor-brother showed up at a Chinese restaurant with a new plaything - a digital camera. I probably smiled with patronizing tolerance. The little thing had about two hundred pixels (2 centipixels?) and it took two minutes between the time you pushed the shutter button and image capture. A lot can happen in two minutes - John Kerry can eclipse Howard Dean, for instance.
I’m exaggerating again, of course…but not significantly. The fact is, in 1998 most photographers couldn’t use digital. The good cameras cost an amount that my little boy generically refers to as “a billion dollars,” and the consumer cameras were toys…”

I agree that the news from PMA has been astonishing inb variety and volume, But interestingly, I though the show was rather poorly attended this year. Visitors were not as evident as last year and yeserday's view of the halls was spookily quiet.
There is a public holiday in the US on Monday, which might explain it, but perhaps the great job that Web sites are doing in distributing the information is eroding the need to physically attend the show?
