Photo industry shows are much more orderly than computer expositions. They are older - photo shows have been a staple since the 1950s - and they seem designed for a slower pace than events like Computex and CES.

Developments in optics may still follow the slow and steady evolution of the past, but digital imaging is clearly a fast moving electronics market that is evolving just as fast as computer technology. Photokina is still every two years, but every two years no longer even covers new model DSLR introductions. They have slipped from two years to 18 month cycles, and we now see models like the Canon 50D just one year after the introduction of the 40D. Certainly this evolution has lessened the importance and relevance of a show viewed as "the" photo show, but there is still enough new at Photokina to keep the market interested. Like other recent photo shows, the biggest announcements seemed to happen in the days leading up to Photokina.

APS-C Interchangeable Lens

The two biggest players, at least in terms of market share, used Photokina to launch new DSLR models. The new DSLR everyone expected at Photokina is the Nikon D90, which you can read about in our pre-show coverage of the D90.


Everyone expected Nikon to replace their aging D80, and the D90 brought the Nikon 12.3MP sensor to its consumer line. However, the surprise was that Nikon was the first to bring HD movie capabilities to a Digital SLR.

The Canon 50D was the most unexpected DSLR announcement, as the 40D is barely a year old. Things are not supposed to move that fast in DSLR land.


It appears the competitive environment pushed Canon to crank up their release schedule, and so we have the Canon 50D. With 15.1MP, a now similar hi-res LCD to the competition, and ISO options extended even further, the 50D now looks like it should compete very well in the prosumer space, keep Canon loyalists, and possibly win some new users to the Canon camp.

The 50D also grabbed the APS-C megapixel crown from the 14.6MP Pentax K20D, but like the 12.4MP Nikon D300, Canon also promises excellent performance at high ISO in very low light. The 50D even trumps the D300 with an ISO 12800 (Hi2) sensitivity option compared to the top 6400 on the D300. Testing will tell us if this "breakthrough" feature is truly useful.


Panasonic, who has been a tiny player in the DSLR market, threw caution to the winds in their quest to win market share. The new G1 is the first interchangeable lens digital to throw away the mirror box and go for truly small. The Panasonic G1 uses the same-size Four Thirds sensor championed by Olympus, Leica, and Panasonic themselves. Also featured is what is claimed to be a truly fast-focusing full-time live view, and a higher resolution 12.1MP MOS sensor. Olympus also has Micro Four Thirds cameras under development.



...of Megapixels and Sensor Density 

Last year's announcement of the full-frame Nikon D3 was about extended ISO range, perhaps even more than the full-frame sensor. Nikon did a superb job of selling low-light sensitivity and extended ISO range as must-have features. Photokina 2008 will likely be remembered as the show that embraced full-frame and extended ISO performance, but that also reignited the Megapixel wars. In both the traditional APS-C model DSLRs and the new pro full-frame class, resolution moved higher - in some cases much higher.

APS-C Digital

The APS-C chart shows that 12MP is the new starting point for top APS-C DSLRs. Olympus is now the only APS-C player to feature 10MP in their top DSLR, though that could change when a new midrange Olympus DSLR is introduced early next year.

Pentax grabbed the resolution crown last year with their 14.6MP Samsung APS-C sensor, but Canon won it back with the 50D announced at Photokina 2008. Perhaps even more interesting is the ISO range of the new 15.1MP 50D. The D300 excited users with a Hi1 6400 ISO option. Canon goes one better with both a Hi1 and Hi2 12800. It will be interesting to see if the new 50D high ISO options are real or just marketing.

Full-Frame DSLRs

The announcement of the full-frame Nikon D3 was about extended ISO range, and Nikon did a superb job of selling low-light sensitivity and extended ISO range of their full-frame sensor. This year manufacturers introduced two more full-frame DSLR cameras. They embraced low-noise sensitivity but they also extended the sensor resolution of their new full-frame sensors.

Full-Frame Takes Over the High-End

Almost two years ago, in our year-end DSLR Buying Guide, we talked about the likelihood that full-frame would take over the pro and high-end of the DSLR market. Frankly, it has happened even faster that we imagined. If there was any doubt that the full-frame sensor would rule the high-end it has been laid to rest at Photokina 2008.

Sony likes to point out in presentations that they are now the clear number three in the camera market. That certainly has been confirmed recently by Mizuho Securities Equity Research in Tokyo, who found Sony has a 12% share of the DSLR market in the second quarter of 2008. This is more than double the Olympus market share. Sony has made great strides since acquiring Minolta, but it is still a long way to the 40%+ Canon DSLR market share in the same second quarter or the 30% Nikon share reported by Mizuho. Interesting enough, the Sony DSLR market share in some European markets is approaching 25%, or roughly double the US share.

Perhaps most interesting from the Mizuho data is the high cost Sony is paying to earn that market share. In the period from April to June 2008:

DSLR Operating Profit Margin
Company DSLR Shipments Operating Profit Margin
Canon 1050000 23.20%
Nikon 820000 19.10%
Sony 330000 -16.70%
Olympus 150000 -6.70%

The report grouped all other cameras in the "Other" category and did not break out data for Pentax for example. Sony has deep pockets, but as a corporation we have to wonder how long Sony will tolerate this "bleeding" in their quest to win DSLR market share. To Sony's credit, they stuck with their plan and forged ahead to offer a "pro-friendly" full-frame Sony DSLR.


The $3000 Sony A900 was launched at Photokina with the clear goal of demonstrating Sony's prowess in the digital sensor market. It is no real secret that Sony produces digital sensors for most other DSLRs in addition to their own brand. The quest to top the resolution chart is closely tied to Sony's desire to drive that point home to the market.

Sony does not appear to have addressed the high ISO sensitivity in the same manner as the most recent Canon and Nikon full-frame cameras, but a full test when the A900 ships will shed more light on this question. For now, the Sony remains the only full-frame DSLR with body-integrated Image Stabilization (IS) that will work with any lens that can mount on the camera.


The Canon 5D is the camera that launched the "semi-pro" full-frame DSLR market, although many will wonder how a camera that originally sold for $3500 targeted "advanced amateurs". However, the 5D is now almost 3 years old. The replacement for the 5D has been "missing in action" for so long that many wondered if Canon had any plans to update a camera that was losing its competitive edge. The answer was cleverly hyped and announced just before the start of Photokina 2008, with the long-expected moniker of Canon 5D Mark II. While industry observers expected an increase in resolution, most did not expect Canon to move all the way to 21.1MP. This is the same resolution as the $8000 Canon 1Ds Mark III, but the 5D sensor is even better. It has ISO options to 25600 - providing both amazing resolution with amazing low-light sensitivity if it performs as promised.

With the big three - Canon, Nikon, and Sony - all now having at least one full-frame model at the top, it should now be clear that the high-end and pro markets have completely shifted to the full-frame sensor with no lens factor for the lenses. As predicted two years ago, the APS-C sensors will now be for entry and midrange cameras in the DSLR market. That, of course, means that all the lens manufacturers will be forced to produce better full-frame lenses with better resolution - or fall by the wayside as full-frame takes the high-end market.

To put in perspective where full-frame can go and what it can do, just look at the charts on page two. The highest resolution full-frame (Sony A900) is still lower pixel density, at 2.9MP per square centimeter, than any current APS-C DSLR. In fact if today'sMP leader in APS-C cameras (Panasonic G1) were to use the same pixel density in a full-frame sensor, that resolution would be 43MP. In more familiar terms, if the resolution of the new Canon 50D were to be carried over to full-frame that sensor would be 38.8MP. The point: full-frame sensors will definitely feature even higher resolutions, with every expectation of good high-ISO performance.



Pentax

Pentax saved the announcement of their new entry Pentax K-m for the actual Photokina show. In the best historical Pentax tradition, the K2000 will be very reasonably priced.


Along with the new low-priced 10.2MP Pentax K2000, two new "light" lenses were introduced. Pentax has been almost alone among manufacturers in providing metal mount rings even with their kit lenses. The new DA L 18-55mm and DA L 50-200mm lenses, like most other kit lenses, are built to be cheaper to manufacture. Other details were in the press announcement:

PENTAX ANNOUNCES K2000 DIGITAL SLR SYSTEM, TWO
DA* HIGH PERFORMANCE LENSES, AND RING FLASH

GOLDEN, CO (September 22, 2008)…PENTAX Imaging Company has announced the PENTAX K2000 DSLR system designed specifically for consumers who are ready to make the transition from a point-and-shoot digital camera to digital SLR photography.

This accessory flash unit is uniquely suited for advanced close-up applications using the automatic exposure-control system of PENTAX digital SLR cameras. Designed to offer uniform lighting on a subject to minimize shadows, the flash is ideal for close-up, portrait, product, dental and medical applications.



Olympus

Olympus created a great deal of interest showing prototypes, but they didn't even have real model numbers to go with the new midrange Olympus DSLR or the prototype of the new interchangeable lens compact based on Micro Four Thirds.

Olympus fans will be pleased to know that Olympus is planning to introduce a new midrange model in the first quarter of next year. The new unnamed model will fall between the current E-520 and the flagship E-3. Finally, Olympus will bring the superb 11 cross-point sensor used in the zippy E-3 to a consumer model with the new camera. The unanswered question is whether the new camera will stick with a 10MP sensor, which is now the lowest resolution among DSLR APS-C cameras, or whether they will move to the new Panasonic Four Thirds 12.1MP sensor used in their new G1.

Olympus was also showing prototypes of their first interchangeable lens compact camera, or point and shoot, based on the Panasonic Olympus Micro Four Thirds standard. You can out more about the new Micro Four Thirds standard in our analysis of the Panasonic G1 launch.

 



The new Four Thirds Olympus point-and-shoot finally accomplishes what many have been clamoring for in the P&S market - namely a large sensor in a point-and-shoot size body. The prototype has interchangeable Micro Four Thirds lenses and can fit today's Four Thirds lenses by using an adapter. You will also likely see fixed lens Micro Four Thirds cameras at a lower price sometime in the future.

The two new Olympus cameras are intriguing, but they are likely at least six months away. Olympus should have final models ready for PMA in February/March of 2009. Unfortunately, the Olympus press release really did not provide answers to the most pressing questions:

Olympus Developing New E-System Four Thirds System-Compliant Digital SLR Camera

COLOGNE, GERMANY, September 22, 2008 - Olympus today announces that it is developing a new interchangeable-lens digital SLR (single lens reflex) within the Olympus E-System lineup. This new Four Thirds-compliant camera reinforces the company's commitment to the standard.

Positioned as a midrange model, this new digital SLR camera is intended for anyone who wants to express their creativity through photography, whether they are just starting out or are a professional with years of experience behind them. Introduction of the new camera is expected in the first quarter of 2009.

A prototype of the camera will be displayed at Photokina 2008, the world's largest trade fair for the photographic and imaging industries held September 23-28 at the Cologne Trade Fair in Cologne, Germany.

At the last Photokina (September 2006), Olympus declared that the second chapter in the story of the Olympus E-System would begin in 2007. One of the highlights of this chapter was the incorporation of "Full-Time Live View" function as a standard function for the first time in the industry, adding to the excitement already generated by other distinctive features of the E-System such as the "100 percent Digital-Dedicated Design" and "Dust Reduction System." Currently, the E-System lineup includes popular models such as the E-420 and E-520, as well as the flagship E-3. All of these cameras provide digital SLR users with the high-quality images, superior reliability and exceptional portability they need.

The prototype model displayed at Photokina is being developed as an advanced amateur model that will be positioned between the E-520 and E-3. In terms of quality and performance, however, there is nothing midrange about this model. It will inherit all the outstanding features of the E-3 such as the high-speed autofocus system using an 11-point full twin-cross sensor and the built-in image stabilization mechanism with a correction effect of up to 5 EV steps. Other highlights will include a new and updated feature to replace the current splash and dustproof function of the E-3.

With the introduction of this new camera, Olympus will expand its line of Four Thirds System-compliant digital SLR cameras, providing a wider range of choices to a wider range of users from serious amateurs to professionals.


Olympus Micro Four Thirds System-Compliant Digital Camera Under Development
 

Cologne, Germany, September 22, 2008 - Olympus today announces that it has begun development of an interchangeable lens type digital camera based on the "Micro Four Thirds System".

Development of the camera will bring dramatic reductions in size and weight to the Olympus E-System, and will comply with the new Micro Four Thirds System standard jointly announced with Matsushita Industrial Co., Ltd. (Panasonic) on August 5. A concept mock-up of the camera will be exhibited September 23-28 at "Photokina 2008," the world's largest trade fair for the photographic and imaging industries held September 23-28 at the Cologne Trade Fair in Cologne, Germany.

The global market for interchangeable lens type digital cameras is growing steadily, but still only accounts for approximately 7 percent of the total digital camera market. Considering the much larger share held by interchangeable lens type digital cameras when film was the dominant imaging medium, it seems that there is still ample room for sales growth in this category. Market surveys, however, indicate that more than a few customers choose compact models because they find digital SLR cameras to be "big, heavy, and difficult to operate."

The Micro Four Thirds System standard was established to meet this need by enabling the development of radically more compact and lightweight interchangeable lens type digital camera systems. The camera currently under development will be the first Olympus camera to comply with the Micro Four Thirds System standard, and interchangeable lenses that comply with the standard are also moving ahead. In addition, users will be able to mount existing Four Thirds System wide-angle, telephoto, and macro lenses on Micro Four Thirds System bodies via an adapter. Product name, launch date and retail price of an interchangeable lens type digital camera based on the "Micro Four Thirds System" are not determined.

Olympus Imaging is also committed to the Four Thirds System, and will continue to expand its lineup of digital SLR cameras to satisfy a broad spectrum of customer needs. This includes the professional photographer, aspiring artist, hobbyist, and everyday consumer.

Outline of the Micro Four Thirds standard The Micro Four Thirds standard was designed and developed to maximize the performance potential of digital imaging technology, and to extend the benefits of the Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems.

When compared to the Four Thirds System standard, the primary distinguishing features of the Micro Four Thirds standard are:

  1. Approximately 50 percent shorter flangeback distance (mount-to-sensor distance)
  2. Lens mount outer diameter approximately 6mm smaller
  3. Electrical contacts in mount increased from 9 to 11

The Micro Four Thirds System enables users to capture the same high-quality images of the Four Thirds System's image sensor in a much more compact body. It also takes advantage of significantly more compact lenses, particularly in the wide-angle and high-power zoom range. The Four Thirds System offers the benefits of compact, lightweight performance, and the new Micro Four Thirds System takes this even further to enable development of ultra-compact interchangeable lens type digital camera systems unlike anything seen before. The new Micro Four Thirds System also incorporates a greater number of lens-mount electrical contacts for the support of new features and expanded system functionality in the future.



Kodak Medium Format Sensor

Kodak was the first to produce full-frame DSLR cameras, with models based on both popular Nikon and Canon bodies of the time. Kodak exited the 35mm DSLR market several years ago, but they have remained active in the development and manufacture of digital imaging sensors. Kodak produced the first Olympus Four Thirds sensor and they produce sensors for their own point and shoot (compact) cameras and some of those produced by other companies.

In recent years, Kodak has maintained a visible professional presence in the digital medium format market, producing expensive backs and sensors for Hasselblad, Leica, and others. Kodak announced a series of sensors to be used in medium format cameras - all of them apparently based on variants of their 37.5MP 45mmx30mm CCD sensor. The new Kodak sensor is 56% larger than a full-frame CCD sensor. Details are in the Kodak press release:


Leica, Hasselblad, and Sinar Select KODAK CCD Image Sensors for Use in New Cameras

Cologne, Germany, September 23, 2008 - CCD Image Sensors from Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) have been selected again to power the most advanced cameras for professional photographers. Showcased at this year's Photokina trade fair in Cologne, Germany, the new cameras - the LEICA S2, the HASSELBLAD H3DII-50, and the SINAR Hy6-65 - are based on both new and existing KODAK CCD Image Sensors, and further establish Kodak as the leading supplier of the most advanced image sensors used in professional photography.

"Kodak has a rich history of supplying image sensors of the highest quality for use in professional photography - where image quality, resolution, and color fidelity are critical to a photographer's success," said Michael Miller, manager of Kodak's CCD Image Sensor Business, part of the company's Image Sensor Solutions group. "We are excited to see this legacy continue with the launch of a new generation of cameras from the world's leading manufacturers that will allow photographers to capture images of the highest quality and the finest detail."

The LEICA S2 camera, powered by the new KODAK KAF-37500 Image Sensor, is the third product from Leica to be based on KODAK CCD Image Sensors - a relationship that began first with the LEICA Digital Module-R and was then extended with the LEICA M8 camera. With an imaging area of 45mm x 30mm, the 37.5 million pixel KAF-37500 represents a new optical format for photography, providing an image capture area over 50% larger than traditional 35mm film. The sensor also includes specific design features that optimize its use in the S2 camera, such as the use of microlenses to increase the overall light sensitivity of the device, enabling improved image quality under low light conditions. In addition, an infra-red absorbing optic was incorporated directly into the sensor's packaging, enabling the development of a thinner camera design by eliminating the need to include this IR-absorbing function as a separate camera component.

The new KODAK KAF-50100 Image Sensor was selected by Hasselblad for use in the HASSELBLAD H3DII-50, the top model of Hasselblad's H3DII family and their fourth-generation medium-format camera. Twice the physical size of the largest 35mm DSLR image sensor, the 50 million pixel KAF-50100 sets a new resolution benchmark for the popular 48mm x 36mm optical format used in medium-format photography, while improving upon the quality and imaging performance available from the previous generation of KODAK sensors.

Both the KAI-50100 and the KAF-37500 Image Sensors are based on the new KODAK TRUESENSE 6.0 micron Full-frame CCD Platform, the company's fourth generation of technology for professional photography. This new platform increases both the resolution and camera performance available for photographers by reducing pixel size and "click-to-capture" time for improved camera response, improving frame rate, lowering power consumption, and improving color fidelity while retaining key performance parameters available from the previous generation of technology.

Sinar has selected the 31.6 million pixel KODAK KAF-31600 Image Sensor for use in the SINAR Hy6-65, a new system that brings integrated digital image processing to medium format photography. Leveraging the light sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and outstanding color fidelity available from the KAF-31600 Image Sensor, this camera brings the superb image quality and performance available from the KAF-31600 to a new generation of products available from Sinar.

These three new cameras join a family of existing cameras and camera backs that are based on a full portfolio of KODAK CCD Image Sensors targeted to this market. With resolutions ranging from 16 to 50 million pixels, Kodak has supplied the broadest portfolio of high performance CCD products for this market, providing camera manufacturers the flexibility to meet the needs and requirements of their customers while retaining the performance and image quality required in this demanding application.



Other Photokina Announcements

Sigma



Sigma is showing their mildly updated SD15 based on what appears to be the same Foveon sensor as the SD14. The processing engine has been updated to the True II, which is based on the True engine used in the recent Sigma DP1 large-sensor P&S. Also updated is the rear LCD which has grown to 3.0".



The Sigma DP2 large sensor compact camera was also announced. It is essentially a DP1 with a 40mm equivalent (24.2mm) lens instead of the 28mm equivalent lens used on the DP1

Leica


As you saw in the Kodak sensor announcement on page 6, Leica was showing a complete new professional medium-format system based on the new Kodak 30mmx45mm 37.5MP CCD sensor.

Adobe

It was completely appropriate that Adobe used Photokina as the vehicle to launch Creative Suite 4 and the new CS4 version of Photoshop. Photokina was the perfect audience to understand the nuances of the latest version of Photoshop and the synergy of CS4.
