January 2007

On the Cover
This month we're taking you directly to the show floor of photokina, the giant photo and imaging show held in Cologne, Germany, every two years. As you'll see, there is a lot of high tech, hot gear heading your way in 2007. For starters, expect to see super size sensors, wide format printers, and more new digital SLRs. And we're just getting started. Finally, for all the products that don't fit in anywhere else, be sure to check out our annual "Weird & Wonderful" report on page 126.
