manufacturers to discuss how cameras have changed and evolved in the

digital age. In addition to talking about the advent of the much-hyped

the first trial for this year's event, we have established

the "CP+ World Premiere logo”, which can be

exhibitors of such products are recommended to use

the logo as a test run for the introduction in earnest in

2013.

The logo is to be used not only at the exhibitors'
