Photokina Day 2 updates

Just a couple updates... but I'm still too lazy to post each and every one of them... eheh... so instead of that, I'll just post a rundown of what have been happening at Photokina based from yet again, Photography Bay and DPReview.

1) Lexar has upped the speed of its professional CF card line from 133x to 233x. The new cards offer a read/write speed of 35MB per second to accommodate higher megapixel cameras and video capture. The new CF cards are available in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB flavors. Full article at Photography Bay.

2) 32-Gigabyte SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash Cards. The recent release of Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II DSLR camera represents an emerging trend in digital imaging: the convergence of high-megapixel still photograph and High Definition (HD) video capture in a single digital single-reflex lens (DSLR) camera and the need for large-capacity memory cards to support these added capabilities.

3) Nik Software Announces “Complete Collection” of Award-Winning Digital Photographic Filters. This new product bundle includes all of the latest versions of Nik Software’s products available at a discounted price of $599, which represents a savings of $450 if purchased separately. Full article at Photography Bay.

4) Eye-Fi doubles upload speed. Upload speeds from camera to computer are now twice as fast, and existing owners will be able to avail themselves of this benefit by simply downloading a firmware update. Full article at DPReview.

5) Tokina to add in-lens AF motors for Nikon users. The first optic to benefit will be the popular AT-X Pro SD 12-24mm F4 (IF) DX wideangle (gaining a 'II' suffix in the process), and a motorised version of this lens is being exhibited for the first time at Photokina; more lenses in the lineup are expected to be updated in due course. Full article at DPReview.

Well... that's pretty much I can gather as of now... for complete details of what have been happening for the past two days, you can check them up at Photography Bay or DPReview.
