I was at Focus on Imaging 2007 – Europe’s biggest annual imaging show today – it’s held at the Birmingham NEC from the 25th to the 28th of Febuary and it’s an opportunity to see the latest digital cameras, the latest printers, and latest accessories. Unlike a lot of other shows, Focus on Imaging has shops offering special show offers where you can potentially grab a bargain on the latest digital camera (for example – the Olympus E-500 with lens is / was available for £299!). This page will be updated with more news and coverage over the next few hours.

Left: Broncolor Flash Lighting Systems Stand. Right: HP Photosmart R827 – HP were there demonstrating all their printers from small photo printers to large professional printers, however, their digital camera range on show consisted of four models, and they didn’t seem to be putting much focus on the cameras.

A word from friends: Digital cameras and batteries go together like peanut butter and jelly, though maybe the former is a relationship that’s a little more parasitic than the latter. Discover a wealth of information about batteries for electronic equipment, including Toshiba laptop batteries, PDA batteries and digital camera batteries on the Internet.
