On My Way to Las Vegas for PMA

January 30, 2008: I’m at the airport in DC, wating for my flight to Las Vegas for PMA. I’m looking forward to so many things there, especially the chance to spend some quality time with Michael, who I don’t think I’ve hung out with in almost a year! Yikes.

Got a nice call last night from a rep for Jessica Claire, a terrific photographer who invented the Shootsac.  We’re going to meet with Jessica on Thursday morning. We also plan on sitting down with Canon, Nikon, FujiFilm and, basically, anyone who’ll talk with us. 

Assuming we don’t’ screw up the recording, you’ll be hearing those interviews in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, it’s 7:00 in the morning and I’m sitting in the airport’s food court where I can’t help observing that, despite the early hour, the majority of people here are aren’t eating muffins or bagels, but huge turkey sandwiches, greasy burgers and fries. At 7AM! I don’t get it.

If you’re going to be at PMA, don’t forget to come to our meetup on Friday night! Email us at TheDigitalPhotographyShow@gmail.com for the details, with “Las Vegas Meetup” in the subject line.  We’ll be having giveaways, contests, and fondly recalling our most embarrassing momemts on the show.

    Scott,

    Have a great trip and bring back lots of info. I need to make my first DSLR purchase very soon so I can be ready for a Caribbean cruise in April. I need to practice!!

    Please check out the new Canon and see how it compares to the 40D. I am leaning towards the Canon 40D right now with the Nikon 40DX a close second. I really like the faster shooting capability and sturdier body of the 40D. Help me decide please.

    Also, maybe another good topic for a show: A newbies starter guide to what is needed along with a good camera:
    lenses, case, filters, tripod, software, software, software (for the Mac of course)

    Take care, Paul

    Check out the Canon 55-250mm IS. This lens is just now being offered in the USA. A real buy at about $250-300.
