(InfoWorld) - Fierce competition in the imaging market has prompted many manufacturers to announce their new products days, weeks and even months ahead of one of the industry's key venues, Photokina, which opened on Tuesday. Numerous digital cameras, storage devices and printers manufactured by companies such as Canon Inc. and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. (Panasonic) were announced in advance of the show, although some of these same vendors saved a few surprises for the Cologne event, which takes place every two years. "We announced many of our new products over the past few weeks to get the news out to retailers and consumers ahead of Photokina so that when they come to the show, they know what to look for," said Canon spokeswoman Kirsten Abicht-Schubert. "Photokina is a very important selling event for us." Despite the move by numerous vendors to "let the cat out of the bag," so to speak, and draw attention to their new products ahead of Photokina, visitors to the show will still find plenty of gadgets shown for the first time in Cologne. Here are a few examples: -- Fuji Photo Film Co Ltd. launched its first digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera, the FinePix S5 Pro. They can also record both JPEG and RAW files to the Compact Flash memory card at the same time. The camera's fact-detection technology detects up to ten faces in a scene immediately after each image is captured. Fuji also unveiled its first pocket-size digital camera to feature the company's face detection technology, the FinePix F31fd. -- Panasonic introduced a number of new digital cameras, including the 7.2 megapixel compact Lumix DMC Fx50 and FX07 with a 28 millimeter wide angle Leica DC lens and 3.6x optical zoom. Both cameras features Panasonic's new Intelligent Image Stabilizer technology, which combines the company's MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO control systems. Panasonic is a pioneer in image stabilizer technology. The Japanese manufacturer also announced a new 10.1 megapixel 12x optical zoom digital camera, the Lumix DMC-FZ50, which can record an image at a maximum ISO 1600-high sensitivity setting at full resolution. -- Canon announced a pair of portable image storage and view devices. The Media Storage MD30 and MD80, equipped with 30G-byte and 80G-byte hard drives respectively, feature a 3.7-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) screen and connect to cameras via a USB 2.0 high-speed cable. Both devices have CF (CompactFlash) and SD (Secure Digital) cards. -- SanDisk Corp. introduced a 4G-byte SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card, the SanDisk Ultra II SDHC. The card can store more than 2,000 high-resolution pictures or up to 8 hours of MPEG-4 video. The product, to start shipping in October, will be priced at around US$120. Photokina runs through Oct. 1.

(InfoWorld) - They're not due to be officially announced until next week, but details of Sony's new line-up of digital still cameras hit numerous Web sites Tuesday. Apparently leaked from Europe, the information about the cameras is surprisingly thorough. First reports provided basic specifications of the cameras but some later reports carried photographs of pages from what appear to be a catalog Sony used to promote the cameras to dealers in the U.K. The catalog shots are complete with "confidential until February 27" warnings across the top of the listings. Sony wouldn't confirm any of the specifications but there isn't any reason to believe the reports are fake. Among the cameras detailed is the Cybershot G1, a 6-megapixel camera with a 3X optical zoom lens and 3-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor. It has a built-in Wi-Fi adapter -- a feature gaining popularity in cameras as a way to send pictures to PCs. The camera is DLNA (digital living network alliance) compliant, so it should network easier with other gadgets, has an impressive 2GB internal memory and can record MPEG 4 movies. Sony says it can manage about 270 shots on a single battery charge, according to the information. Also new is the Cybershot T100, according to the published documents. This camera combines an 8.1-megapixel image sensor with 5X optical zoom lens and Sony's Bionz processing engine that sits in the heart of the digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera it launched last year. Bionz aids high-speed, high-quality image processing to result in pictures with less image noise, according to the company. The Cybershot H-series gets two new cameras, the H7 and H9, the reports say. Both maintain the distinctive large lens and offer 8-megapixel quality with 15X optical zoom. They also carry the Bionz processor and other features like anti-shake and Pictbridge printing. The major difference between the two cameras appears to be in the size of the LCD monitor, which is 2.5-inches on the H7 and 3-inches on the H9. There are also five new W-series models coming up, according to the reports. They include the Cybershot W200, which offers 12.1-megapixel image sensors. That's higher than many other cameras, especially compact cameras, and is sure to be a key selling point, but its usefulness is limited unless the user wants to enlarge pictures to cover entire walls or do some serious cropping and still be left with a usable picture. Full details of the new cameras, including price and launch date, are expected next week. Sony has scheduled a news conference to announce new Cybershot cameras in Tokyo on Feb. 28.
