2008 PMA Wrap-up

Fast on the heels of the Consumer Electronics Show, it was time to take another flight to Las Vegas for the Photo Marketing Association trade event—where digital cameras take center stage, not zillions of flat panel televisions.

Digitaltrends.com covered many of the announcements made prior to the event which ran from January 31 to the day before the Super Bowl—which everybody watched on those flat panel TVs! What follows are our picks for the best in show—along with a few thoughts about the wild world of digital imaging.

2007 Photo Marketing Association Wrap-Up

The annual Photo Marketing Association convention is a gathering of photo retailers, imaging geeks and manufacturers touting their latest gear. Although most of the show floor is dedicated to things the average consumer couldn’t care less about, DigitalTrends dutifully walked the aisles to uncover items of interest. Here goes:

Archos Release SDK for Their PMA400

Archos Release SDK for Their PMA400

The PMA400 SDK is designed for developers with knowledge of software development for Trolltech’s Qtopia-based devices. Archos provides a free software download (under GNU General Public License terms) for cross platform development, based on binary tools GNU binutils, GCC and glibc, and Linux kernel sources. Additionally, the PMA400 Multimedia Framework libraries and documentation are free to download for non-commercial applications.

If you don’t understand what we just said, then you probably shouldn’t use the development kit.

The Archos PMA400 is being branded by the company as their Pocket Media Assistant and features an integrated 30GB hard drive, a foldable USB keyboard, and a touch-sensitive screen. You can even record television shows to the unit.

The Best New Cameras From PMA

“PMA 2005 turned out to be a modest show, with few groundbreaking announcements. Many of the new cameras on the floor updated existing models, adding a little more resolution, a boost in speed, and a dash of style. But several products caught our attention, either because they blaze the trail we’d like to see the digital imaging market follow, because they offer noteworthy innovations, or simply because they make us wish we had a few thousand dollars burning a hole in our pocket. “

Read on to see which camera’s Cnet picks as this years best.
