Yamada @ Japan Electronics Show 1999

PC Watch's resident pro photographer Yamada reports from the Japan Electronics Show 1999. Sony are showing off their next generation 3.2 megapixel CCD, and the guts of their upcoming DC-PC100 DV / digicam. Philips have a 6 megapixel CCD and Sanyo have a BIG 2/3" 2 megapixel CCD and a 0.8" organic EL LCD display for use in viewfinders. Matsushita (Panasonic) showed some odd looking digicams using their new SD flash storage cards (yes another new storage standard). Sony also showed a chunky MiniDisc digicam. Going back to storage Sanyo showed the 730MB iD magneto-optical disk.
