Ahhhh! The Cliq photoshow 2011 in September has been deleted (Source: PDN, Found via: Photorumors). The Cliq show will mere with the CES show! That’s a short excerpt form the press release: “The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and PMA International have agreed in principle to move the 2011 PMA International Convention and Trade Show (aka CliQ 2011) to colocate with 2012 International CES, January 10-13, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nev.”
So where are all big camera makers going to show their cameras? I have a huge garden in front of my house. I could organize a barbecue with Olympus and Panasonic. Joke apart. A wonder what’s the reason behind that decision. Sounds like some of the big ones maybe would not have participated or would not have announced new products?

Nikon delaying the D4, of course. 😀

The internets, Sir.
Cancel my previous comment as that discussion of BIG rumor still exists under rumor of Sama’s Prediction post a couple rumors back.
I’ve read that in the past, PMA and other conventions was needed so that the manufacturers could introduce the product to the people who worked in retail who actually sold it to you. Now, that a lot of users buy their cameras either through the internet or in big box stores, the retail camera stores are in serious decline, and aren’t the backbone for new sales.
