For a journalist, the big news at PhotoPlus was already known in the days and weeks preceding the big event. Nevertheless, the show was a time to renew acquaintances, play with the gear that's been written about, find the hidden gems, and see which booths professional photographers were flocking to.
Surprises and MIA's
The surprise no-show was Hasselblad. This is the first show I can remember when they didn't have a booth, even though they recently introduced a 39MP DSLR that should've been an item of great interest to PhotoPlus Expo attendees.
Kodak's booth is the smallest I can remember, perhaps a sign of the company's difficult transition to a mostly digital powerhouse. The biggest surprise is what they were giving away: film! Kodak's press kit included its recent survey which indicated that most pro shooters use film, at least some of the time. Perhaps they're right: the line for free film snaked around the booth most of the day Thursday.
