Another great Show. I was of course looking forward to D200 announcement but saga still continues, at least still as of 10PM on saturday. There is still sunday :)

The highlight of the show for me was announcement / presentation of Aperture by Apple. This piece of software attracted hundreds of Show members. I was soooo impressed that right after I got home, I started researching G5 machine. Decided not to later but still think Aperture will be Up There, next to PhotoShop.

Here are few images from the show.

This is what I liked about Nikon. 2 D2X with 400 f/2.8 just mounted there for anyone to try it. I have yet to see Canon / Sony / Mamyia / Hasselblad do such thing. Impressive indeed !

I was talking to Nikon representatives about 400 vs. 500 and D200. He smiled when I asked him about D200 and said that he can NOT talk about it :)

Great speakers through Canon and Nikon. Unbelievable porftolios.

One of the graphic / printing companies had this Hasselblad composition to test H1 model. Great camera but a bit too expensive.

Adobe section was packed for each presentation. Adobe has to be making tons of money !!!

Small setup with LowelEgo lights. Great for VERY small object photography.

Jay, you shoulda dragged the nikon guy out back and...
interesting stuff. i've heard about the aperture and people seem very impressed.
 
Great stuff, Jay. That Aperature does sound interesting, RAW and JPG seemlessly integrated, interesting. I still dont get why PS does not have it in it. Why have a separate app? Will it be for Mac only? That makes me want to switch, I love macs anyways, just never got round to it.
