What's Happening at PMA 2005

This week, the PMA trade show 2005 is underway in Orlando, Florida. What is PMA? Actually it stands for Photographic Marketing Association, which means the major manufacturers of digital cameras are then in force to show their newest wares.

Highlights, for me at least, include the newest Canon Rebel XT SLR that is now an 8 Megapixel camera. That explains why I have been seeing bargain prices on the 6 Megapixel version.

I was also impressed with the new storage devices that allow you to download your pictures in the field without carrying your laptop around. There is now one that includes a DVD burner for far more storage than the traditional CD-R. For me, that would be very handy, especially in Europe where you don't want to leave your laptop in your hotel room, or even carry it around, for that matter.

If you have an interesting in digital cameras, I suggest you head to the following web site to catch up on all the latest equipment. Go to:
