CEA did it's darnedest to bring more digital photography exhibits and displays into the show, including a dedicated Digital Photography Showcase in the South Hall for first-time exhibitors. The effort appears to have turned into a real competitor for the annual PMA tradeshow (which rolls into Las Vegas just two weeks from today), with hundreds of HD digicams, higher end DLSRs and HD-readycamcorders throughout the exhibit halls.
Casio's F1 is the star of the show at their booth. A unique combination of prosumer DLSR styling with unmatched features, the F1 is 6.0 megapixel ultrazoom with 2.8" LCD display, 12X optical zoom and a speed burst capture mode capable of taking 60 frames per second at full resolution. While it's digicam specs are impressive, the real kicker for this camera is the full HD movie recording that captures 1920x1080 at 60 fps. Even better, the F1 has a high-speed move recording mode that captures video at 300fps, 600 fps or even a whopping 1200fps.
Pricing and availability for the F1 have not yet been disclosed.
BlueAnt's 'V1' represents the future of Bluetooth headsets allowing users to easily control most functions of their headset using the revolutionary 'BlueGenie Voice Interface' from Sensory, Inc. Talk to it - and it will talk to you. Ask it for assistance - and it will assist you in getting the right command. This advanced headset eliminates combinations of button pushes, button holds and flashing lights synonymous with other Bluetooth devices. A single activation button provides the user with total control of the 'V1's' entire function menu system via an easy to use voice interface.
The 'BlueGenie Voice Interface' uses advanced voice recognition and voice synthesis technology to allow users to easily control the functions of their headset using their voice rather than multiple button presses.
"We are extremely proud to receive this award for the 'V1' headset," says BlueAnt CEO Taisen Maddern. "It recognizes the intensive R&D focus and real world testing of the product over the last 12 months. We are now just weeks away from making the device available to consumers nationally and we look forward to their feedback. It is a sophisticated product offering unlike any other headset that is currently on the market. The 'V1' will lead the way in Voice Controlled Headset technology providing consumers with the kind of functionality that they have been waiting for."
