    @edwardm Thanks for your coverage - it is much appreciated. Look forward to the video clips.

    I will have some video clips of the Sony Balanced Optical Stabilization System and also the very cool Winbot that cleans windows at some point. Was hoping to upload today but ... I did not go to the last day of CES; came down with a very bad cold, fever, headache, coughing and spent a bit of the day in bed.

    Per Vitaliy's CES photo above, I must have been at the wrong part of CES :) Oh well.

    In the International Pavilion I saw a tiny 3D camera modules that can be (optionally) attached to a smart phone. It sends (or will in a month) 1080p video over Wi-Fi to an app on the smart phone, where the incoming video stream can be recorded/stored on the phone. This effectively turns any smart phone (iPhone or Android) into a 3D camera. Price will be less than $120. I should be able to post some photos later.

    I see this as yet another way of trying to add new photo (or video) capability to smart phones. All the camera companies are trying to respond to the use of smart phones for photo taking and adding features like Wi-Fi and smart phone apps to provide an improved photo camera yet still leveraging the phone.

    We spoke with LG Display (the pseudo-independent Korean display maker) here at CES and the company's reps tell us that all LCD makers are looking to move their business models on from cheap mass production to higher-margin, premium offerings. Having been burned by the costs of tooling up large factories for extremely price-sensitive screens, guys like LGD are now looking to innovate and secure their future viability by selling fewer, but more profitable displays.

    Also, Olympus, like last year, does not have a public show booth but is only having private meetings in the meeting rooms area.

    JVC introduced their own "action camera". Everyone is gunning for GoPro.

    The JVC records at 15 Mbps data rate, has up to 170 degree field of view, and features a built in LCD viewfinder on the side of the camera as standard. I believe the retail price will be $299 and Videomaker Magazine selected it as a best in show product introduction.

    Fujifilm's new X20 is basically a compact version of the X Pro 1 and a 2x faster processor. It will sell for US $599. This camera features Fujifilm's own EXTRANS sensor technology. Rather than a Bayer pattern and the problems that causes with moire or fuzziness caused by the optical low pass filters, this sensor uses a random pattern sensor (the idea is to emulate film). This eliminates the need for an optical low pass filter, which means a sharper image and no moire.

    Sony also introduced a new "Balanced Optical Image Stabilization" system camcorder. This is a truly amazing amount of stabilization. Think of the lens being in its own floating box inside the camera. As the camera shakes, the lens is automatically moved opposite to the shake.

    I have a video clip of this so you can watch the lens moving with the camera on their shake table. It was a brutal amount of shaking yet the camera provided smooth shots even in telephoto. However, due to my slow Internet access I will not be able to upload this for now. Hope in a couple of days or so I will have better access at a new location.

    The Sony TD30V replaces the TD20. Per the rep and my estimate, the TD30 returns to the 30mm stereobase separation. Price is lowered to US$999.95. Main changes are external SD card only now, no more internal memory for that. And the parallax adjustment has moved on to a menu item - its pretty straight forward user interface - provides both auto alignment and manual adjustment of parallax.

    In 3D, the lens is as wide as 33mm full frame equivalent and in 2D its 29mm equivalent.

    Some closer in photos of the GH-3 exploded view and a GH-3 magnesium alloy shell.

    The lst photo is the opposite side of the circuit board. It was hard to get a view of it so the photo is not great.

    Fujifilm HS50 EXR has world's fastest autofocus at 5/100ths of a second. System automatically selects phase detector or contrast focusing system. Startup time is 1/2 second as is time between shots. Has a 1/2" sensor. $549

    SL1000 has 1/2.3 sensor, all of these cameras support the cha cha mode imported from the W3 and store images in mpo format. These are a super zoom bridge type cameras. This one is priced at $399

    Both cameras support 3D "cha cha" mode photo taking. That is take one image, move camera a bit, take 2nd camera. Performs in camera alignment and then stores to MPO file format. This is a literal port of the Fujifilm W3's "Adv 3d" cha cha mode. Which means if the W3 sort of fades away, parts of it will continue to live on.

    X20 is a compact version of the x pro 1, basically with. 2x faster processor and the 2/3" Extrans sensor which uses a film-like random pattern sensor to eliminate Moire and needs no optical low pass filter, resulting in very sharp images.

    Photo 1 - HS50EXR has both contrast and phase detection focusing system, auto selects best one for scene. Auto focus is 5/100th of a second, the world's fastest. Startup from off time 1/2 sec, and 1/2 sec between shots. Fully articulated LCD. US$549.95

    Photo 2 - HS50EXR

    Photo 3 - SL1000 back side. US$399.
