Rumors seen on photo.net re: Photokina announcement in September. Forget about your Nikon D2x, Canon 1Ds, Nikon D200, Canon D120, Contax N2 etc. Ignore the Foveon hype.
"Has anyone found out any concrete details about the revolutionary new technology rumoured to be released at Photokina by a consortium involving Kodak, Fuji, Agfa, Ilford, and Konica? To be called "universal visual format", some amazing claims are circulating about its potential including: Platform independent files that will be readable in 100 years time using something called “fast integrated light management” technology, very high resolution (30 megapixels equivalent in medium format), very cheap removable memory ($7 per gigabyte!), compatible with all existing interchangeable lens ranges and no focal length multiplier effect, projectors that will have more than twice the resolution of digital at a quarter of the cost. Sounds too good to be true? " Whats the acronym for “fast integrated light management”?? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
