New changes on Sony World Photography Awards 2011 (Imaging Resource)

The changes in the Sony World Photography Awards are really most interesting. The Awards festival has been hosted in its first few years at Cannes, and will continue to focus on Europe next year, with the awards festival to be held at London next April–but only after the show is seen at San Francisco, in Mexico, and at Shanghai.
Sony Alpha has been doing very well in Europe, wel ahead of Alpha success in the other two major markets, the US & Japan. Sony’s strategy has seemed to me to be to make inroads in Europe first, and in developing nations, before attacking the more mature markets in the US & Japan. So here we see that they are emphasizing Mexico, where they have been doing very well, leading I believe in the dslr marketplace, and China, the fastest growing market in the world, where Sony is already even with Nikon.
Even more interesting is the San Francisco showing: I think that means that we’ll be seeing a greatly augmented Sony Alpha marketing effort in the next year. Neat.
The rollable OLED display promises massively innovative display options in the future for both professional and consumer applications. I am really looking forward to seeing how this contributes to the flexibility of shooting video and stills in the future and displaying them too. My mind is full of ideas!
The NEX: A Technical Hands On (glaringnotebook) clearly shows a WHITE model of NEX3. I am sorry that Sony did not make that color for the production units. The white looks nice.
I can see this being used in the future as a replacement news paper or even in clothing and making people look invisible, of course in combination with little tiny cameras everywhere. That would be neat 🙂 I wonder how they will incorporate this into future alphas.
Hey I’m starting my own rumor that the NEX will be available in white:

Does any one yet have good information on when the Nex-5 is for sale, either in the US, or in the UK? Thanks!
I don’t know but I can’t wait. I mostly see late June. Some places say July and one said early June.
Thanks Brian!
