PMA Coverage in our June, 2006 Issue

PMA Coverage in our June, 2006 Issue

by George Schuab

I wanted to give you a Coming Attraction of our June, 2006 Shutterbug issue. It's filled with new products, trends and technology from the recent PMA Show in Orlando, FL. This is the biggest photo/imaging trade show in the US, and we had a team of reporters covering every facet of the event. We have reports on new digital SLRs, lenses, scanners, printers, lighting, film and our ever-popular "Weird and Wonderful", products only a photographer could love.

We have been posting new product news on our web site daily (www.shutterbug.com) during and since the show, but there were so many to cover that we thought we'd give you a sampling of what's to come in our big June show report issue. Subscribers will get this issue in late April/early May, 2006, or you can pick up a copy on your newsstand in the first week of May.
