Nokia had this huge crane like the ones used by TV Networks to broadcast large shows but on top of it only this small Nokia N series phone capturing live video to several TV screens at the Nokia booth. To see this phone just look strait up to the ceiling. Also fascinating was this Steady Cam Men, he was all over Nokia booth capturing live video and we did have a tête a tête here, look closely, he is not steading any regular cam, he is steading a Nokia N series phone!

Nokia had a great booth to show their gear. I am convinced now that in the near future people will be taking more pictures with cell phones than with cameras. It's so easy and everyone has one in their pocket. Nokia went a bit further to make it easy for everyone to shoot pictures or make videos and then upload it all to the Internet on the spot. Forget about newspapers, everyone will be making the news from now on, live from around the globe to the Internet.

I was looking for skin tones myself and found these at the Samsung booth.

This is the Spheron VR booth here at Photokina 06.

If you're Spiderman, this tripod is for you. The Giottos tripods can apparently go anywhere.

This pano was shot at the Samsung booth where they had the new Sansung GX-10 based on the Pentax K10D.

This is the Nikon shootout setup, not the biggest one here at Photokina, Leica has a large shootout setup also but Canon has the biggest one.

Nikon has this big D80 rotating around.

Olympus had this nice old car on their booth, it provided the scenery for some glam images.

This is a pano made at the Epson booth at Photokina 06, lot's of space available.

I just found the Nikonians booth, they don't like to see Canons around, I was almost trown out of there, the Nikkor 10.5mm Fisheye saved me, after they checked that it really was a Nikkor lens the things cooled down, the Nikonians after all where nice and showed me their goods, they sell some good bal heads.

In Hall N.2 I found out this company saying they know about the Real Virtual Reality, well, at least regarding the sound of it they are very seriuos. They had all sorts of microphone to capture surround sound and to play it.
