As usual Kodak have a huge booth at PMA, but once again very little of interest unless you’re in the photo-finishing business (which to be fair, a lot of visitors to the show are). The brand new Kodak Easyshare Z1012 IS ultra-zoom compact plus 3 more compacts that were first announced at CES were pretty much it for Kodak this year.

Casio’s PMA booth is centered around the incredible EX-F1, which can take 60 frames in 1 second at the full 6 megapixel resolution - you really have to try it out to believe it. Also featured are the pre-requisite incremental compact camera updates in a range of glaringly bright colours, inlcuding the Casio EX-S10, the world’s smallest and thinnest 10 megapixel digital camera.

Samsung are showcasing their 14 megapixel GX20 DSLR, successor to the GX10 and close sibling to the Pentax K20D (they’re basically the same camera). Note that in the UK the GX20 is some £200 cheaper than Pentax’s version. As with every other manufacturer at PMA 2008, Samsung also have a multitude of new compacts on show.
Update: I’ve now tracked down the Samsung GX20 wireless grip, which is being shown in early prototype form. This slots into the bottom of the camera and provides Wi-Fi connectivity. The prototype doesn’t have room for batteries, but the final version may take batteries when it’s released around May.

With no new DSLRs, Olympus are busy pushing their extensive range of compact cameras - no fewer than 9 new models in total, all in a wide range of colours. Most interesting is the 20x zoom SP-570 UZ, which is currently the World’s biggest ultra-zoom camera.

As promised, we have a selection of 36 photos taken with a pre-production version of the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 ultra-zoom compact camera on a recent press trip to Las Vegas, USA. Please note that the DMC-TZ5 that I used was a pre-production version, therefore these images do not represent the quality of the final production camera.

We have some exclusive photos from Panasonic’s PMA product launch, which took place at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas this morning. Panasonic announced no less than 8 new compact cameras today, including the successor to the popular TZ3, the DMC-TZ5. I’m trying out a new Gallery system which should make it easier to browse the photos, so please email any issues that you find or suggestions for improvements.
