The rest more little silver consumer P&S models.  Too bad.

Photokina is not over yet and Nikon made its announcement early. It
appears that the product development cycle is becoming less and less
tied to the big shows.

Actually, to be a little more clear about it, Photokina has not even
started yet. So *nothing* has been announced at Photokina yet, and
*nothing* will be until the show starts on September 26th.

Nice one Rich.

"This year the show will take place from 26th September to 1st October
(10 AM to 6 PM). As usual the build up of new products for Photokina
started back in July and is only likely to accelerate as we get closer
to the opening day."

In other words, over a month away.   Read, and think, before engaging
keyboard... (O;

Go to an auto show, it'll give you some ideas.

You wanted cars? Now that is just confusing Rich, I am assuming that you
went to Photokina and was disappointed, what were you expecting other than
cars?

That's just the pre-show announcements so far.  Since Photokina hasn't even
started, I'd say just the opposite - looks like it's off to a good start.

Indeed, more than a month before the event opens, not a bad start at
all.

I can only guess why RichA timed his 'contribution' just before
Canon's first official Photokina 2006 announcements, presumably later
this week ...

That's what I've heard, too.
On the 24th.

Maybe Rich should just give all of his posts a black border. I can't
recall the last time he had anything nice to say about anything. All
news is bad news...

Isn't there enough Canon boosterism here for you?

I use Nikons.

But my daughter came to me asking for camera advice. I told her all the
pros and cons of the different cameras, but she bought a Canon anyway.
I said, "Why did you do that? It is just going to get beat up, the
lenses will fall apart, the sensor will quit working, and it will
eventually die on you completely." And she said, "Yes, but with a
Canon, who cares?"

Your daughter has a good writer! I'm recommending him to the Tonight
Show today. Or tonight.

1) How stupid of me to have missed the start of Photokina 2006
2) That silly little silver job is far far ahead of anything you will ever
own or understand.

Keep telling yourself that.  BTW;  Where is a link to pictures you've
taken?

Keep telling myself which? If you mean number 2, then I don't need to; it's
evident from your meaningless meanderings on usenet.
No link, no website.  Don't you listen?  I've told you before.

And we're sure you will tell him again. Come one, Helen, be a sport.
Show us some of your pictures. (NOT your graphic medical ones, please!)

Bill, I'm no longer a medical photographer, but are you REALLY sure you
don't want to see my series on cholecystectomies?  I have a fine collection
of total knee replacements but, unfortunately, RichA, not on any website.

I didn't thing you would.  But then mediocre wedding shots aren't
something generally worth seeing.
