 Photoplus Expo - Apple Aperture
According to Ron Risman: "On the eve of PhotoPlus Expo 2005, Apple announced a software package named "Aperture", designed exclusively for professional photographers. From watching multiple presentations and demonstrations, it appears that Aperture was not designed to compete with Adobe Photoshop, rather it was designed to offer features and simplicity that extend and ease the workflow process for photographers. The software actually has a Photoshop connector for those times when you need the layering power of Photoshop."
Photoplus Expo 2005 coverage - Epson P4000
Ron continues: "Epson also showed their newly announced P-4000 Multimedia Photo Viewer and Storage device. Despite its high $699 price tag, the P-4000 attracted a lot of interest, especially from photographers who felt that the 40GB drive of the previous version (P-2000) just wasn't large enough. As a multimedia device, the P-4000 also supports video and MP3 audio playback."
Photoplus 2005 event - Olympus E-Volt E500
During the Photoplus 2005 show Ron also took some time to take a closer look at the new Olympus E500 D-SLR. "The newly announced Olympus Evolt E-500 is the lightest Digital SLR on the market, yet feels very solid and offers features and resolution that will allow it to compete very favorably in the under $1000 DSLR market. To spotlight the lens size advantage, Olympus showed a new 18-180mm lens, not due until spring of 2006, at PhotoPlus Expo 2005. This 10x optical zoom is only 3.33" long, yet features a 36-360mm (35mm equivalent) zoom ratio." You want to learn more about the Photoplus Expo 2005 event that was held in New Tork?
