Photokina Coverage On Track

After 24 hours of traveling, I'm in my room in Cologne making sure I stay awake until the evening hours. I want to acclimate to German time as quickly as possible. Of course, having a Kolsch is part of the acclimation process.

It was definitely a "planes, trains, and automobiles" trip, with the last leg on the high speed ICE train that clocked over 185 km per hour on some of the open stretches to Cologne.

ICE DB Bahn

While I was traveling, both Panasonic and Olympus made big announcements in the micro four thirds space. I'll cover those in the podcast that I'm going to record tonight from my room overlooking the old Wolkenburg building that's outside my window.

Tomorrow morning, German time, I take a local train to the Koelnmesse for the official opening of Photokina. Stay tuned for hands-on reports, Instagrams, and tweets. But first, I need to find some food. I don't really remember when my last real meal took place.

More to come...

Looking forward to your Photokina coverage!

See you tomorrow, Derrick! Just got to my hotel room in Cologne as well...

Hi Derrick,

Looking forward to you reports from the Photokina.

I see the announcement for the new Canon EOS 6D came out this morning. The specs look pretty good for this full frame 20mp digital camera for under $2100.00. Hope you can get your hands on one while attending the Photokina and let us all know what you think of it.

Best,

Stu
