Photo Marketing Association's (PMA) trade show.

Thus, all the new camera announcements. For those who don't know, PMA is the camera industry's biggest show of the year. So, in keeping with this product-driven zeitgeist, last night Canon announced five new 7.1 megapixel PowerShot cameras. What's big in the Canon announcement is that after years of the camera industry underplaying the importance of the video capabilities on digital cameras, they're starting to get it. For example, Canon's PowerShot TX1 isn't just a 10x optical superzoom, but one that shoots in video clips at 1280-by-720 at 30 fps, or 720p video. This should be a hot camera, if the performance lives up to the specs. In addition to the five new point-and-shoots, Canon had big news for pros as it unveiled its newest high-end D-SLR, the 10.1 megapixel EOS-1D Mark III. Canon's emphasizing speed with this new camera: a 10 frame-per-second burst, plus a huge 3" LCD, a broad ISO range, a Live View mode, and more. Of course, you'll need $4000 to buy it this spring.

RDC-7 by Ricoh

The $899 RDC-7 is a 3.3 Megapixel camera with features typical of other cameras in its class, but it adds one feature rarely seen: a "Pro" mode which produces 7 million pixel images. It can do this in one of two ways: one is to just take a photo and interpolate up to 3072 x 2304; the other is to actually take two shots back-to-back, and do something called "pixel shifting", which gives the camera more data from which to create the interpolated image. Nice but expensive for the average Joe.
