Digg It
Photokina was not exciting this year.
A lot of people were waiting for big news from Nikon or Canon on their pro cameras. ”Will we see the Nikon D3H or D3X, or perhaps a new Canon 1Ds ?“
But nothing happened.
We just saw a new DSLR from Sigma, the SD14. Leica had also the M8 at the exibition. But frankly, who will buy a Sigma DSLR, a part some Indiana Jones of photography ? Regarding the Leica, I can understand the photographers that are interested in it, but I am not part of the.
All the fuss was about medium format cameras, especially the Hasselblad H3D. They have closed the specification for their digital back. So if you buy an Hasselblad, you will have to buy an Hasselblad back. So, all the fuss about digital back compatiblity!
We are far away from big news!
I hope that Canon and Nikon will release new products before the next big camera show.
