PMA 2006

ThePhoto Marketing Association (PMA)trade show opened on Sunday, February 26, in Orlando, Florida. This is the largest photo industry trade show of the year in the United States, and an opportunity for camera makers and others in the industry to show their new products for 2006. This is aPhotokinayear (a biennial trade show in Cologne, Germany in late September, and the world's largest), and so there are likely to not be as many big announcements at PMA as there would be in an alternate year.
I will be at PMA, and will report onnew products which catch my fancy. I will not, for example, be reporting on the 723 new digicams that will be introduced. There are other web sites that do a much better job of this that I can.
Below are some selected PMA related announcements and my observations. New ones will be added as PMA approaches, and as new products are announced before and at the show.
