PMA - no news?

Has anybody heard if there is any news from PMA?

yeah it started and all the products that were annouced are there

I assume you were expecting new products, but nothing major to report. the sigma 200-500 was the last big thing announced late last night

Yeah, big indeed !!

I had distant hopes for some kind of surprise with new Canon SLRs even though they said there wouldn't be. I also thought they might formally announce new prices for older models like the 5D.

Some rebates will start later... they have stocks over there that they need to be reduced.... that´s also the idea under the 20th Anniversary Camera kits (already announced), specially the 30D (also some 1D Mk II) and if we are lucky also some other bodies (but may be with less price reduction). It always depends on what the other brands fix (competence, you know ...)

Some news about Sony: Alfa system expanded:

Not too much details, new sensor (no details yet), higher performance than Aplha 100; The highest-end flagship model will have an even higher-rez BIONZ image processor that was specifically developed for it. The company also announced it will add more lenses to the line, such as 24-70mm, 70-300mm, 28-250mm lenses

Maybe they put it on backwards to hide the Canon label.

The Sony bodies (especially the grip) look horrible; the Olympus looks reasonable though.

ah the tilt and swivel lcd - no doubt a feature of the 1DMkIIIn in 2008, they had to hold back on something.

ewwww no. there wouldn't be a way to weather seal it or maintain its structural integrity. what happens when a press photog is using it above their head at a demonstration and they are pushed from behind and it breaks off on the way down? etc etc. Great for P&S's but would be awful on a pro body.
