PMA 07 International Convention
and Trade Show:
March 8-11, 2007
Las Vegas Convention Center, South HAll
Las Vegas, Nevada USA
The leading international conference and trade show, PMA 07 hosts retail entrepreneurial memory makers from around the world, encouraging the discovery of more opportunities, professional development, and the inspiration to act on emerging trends. PMA members help people everywhere create, keep, display and share memories through pictures.
Redefining the traditional photo store as a lifestyle destination, The Complete Picture illustrates how to present innovative technologies as inspirational solutions. In addition to the exhibitor floor and educational conference sessions, PMA 07 features daily keynotes from some of the most prominent visionaries in the imaging industry. PMA 07 offers you the chance to join the Photo Imaging Education Association (PIEA) on an all-day photo safari to Death Valley National Park, one of America’s premier National Parks.
Marriott will install 32-inch high-definition, liquid-crystal display televisions. They’re attached to “digital connectivity panels” that allow a guest to connect several digital devices — laptops, camcorders, digital cameras, video games, and iPods. Once tapped into the TV’s flat-panel screen and the 25-watt speakers, a guest, for example, may work on the laptop and watch TV simultaneously on a split screen. The system also permits listening to an iPod through the sound system.

Stuart Miles, at the site Photographypress.co.uk lists his top 10 finds at the PMA07 show:
1. Leica C-LUX 2 compact digital camera – FIRST LOOK
Compact and super fast, this has to be our favourite camera of the show.
2. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 wireless camera
3. Sigma DP1 14 megapixel compact
4. Joby Solo tripod
5. Nikon D40x
6. Olympus E-510
7. HP R837
8. Canon Eos 1D Mark III
9. Delkin CF ExpressCard memory card reader
10. Camera Armor
For those who like to be a bit more adventurous, Camera Armor is a silicon case the wraps around your Digital SLR camera ensuring that if you do drop it, it will be safe. Like an iPod case, this isn’t designed to stop it from smashing, but it will stop bumps and scratches.
