This year we will be providing extended coverage of all photography introductions taking place at CES 2006. CES (Consumer Electronic Show) 2006 is being held
in Las Vegas, Nevada and is expected to draw 130,000 attendees. Over 2,500 vendors will be on hand to show new products in all major consumer electronic categories, but our coverage
here will focus solely on digital cameras, printers, and other photography-related products.
Over the past three or four years an increasing number of manufacturers have chosen to launch new digital photography products at CES instead of waiting until the PMA show
(Photo Marketing Association) in late February. Quite often, vendors will announce product at CES but will not publicly display them until PMA. This page will be updated throughout
the next five days to bring you the most up-to-date coverage of the show.
