If you're a high-tech and gadget enthusiast, there's nothing like the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where hundreds of announcements of new electronics products -- including announcements of dozens of digital cameras and photography products -- are condensed into a long weekend.
The 2011 CES in Las Vegas begins Thursday, Jan. 6, and runs through Sunday, Jan. 9. Look for a variety of cameras that will offer 16 megapixels of resolution to be announced, after 14MP was common in cameras released in 2010. More cameras with built-in GPS, more DIL cameras with larger image sensors, and "smarter" cameras with better built-in software are likely to appear. Additionally, a few companies may release cameras that feature new form factors as they try to differentiate themselves in a competitive digital camera marketplace.
Stay tuned to my blog all week for all of the new camera product announcements ... and don't wait until Thursday to check in, as a few camera manufacturers tend to make announcements of new cameras ahead of CES. (Samsung has already announced two cameras, including the ultra-zoom WB700, pictured here.) Obviously, CES is important as it provides a great look at the types of new and interesting features digital camera manufacturers will be offering in cameras released throughout 2011.
