photokina 2008: New Dimensions in
Image Communication
After six
very successful days, the 30th photokina concluded in Cologne on September
28. The international photo and imaging industry put on an amazing show in
Cologne, as 1,523 companies from 49 countries presented a huge range of
product innovations, thrilling the numerous specialist trade visitors and
consumers in attendance. As Koelnmesse Executive Vice President Oliver P.
Kuhrt stated, photokina thus "reconfirmed its position as the undisputed
number one global trade fair for the entire imaging industry. This result was
largely due to the tremendous innovation potential displayed by the fair, as
photokina showcased not only the latest products but also the technologies
and trends that will have a major impact on the market in the coming years."
With 66 percent of the exhibitors coming from abroad and a larger number of
participating countries (2006: 46 nations), the international nature of the
fair was also once again enhanced. If visitor estimates for the final day are
included, the imaging sector's leading technology and trend show attracted
more than 169,000 people to Cologne. The next photokina Cologne will take
place from Tuesday, September 28 to Sunday, October 3, 2010. More:

native full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels). The EC-67-HD has a screen
