Without a doubt, the highlight of the EXPO this year were the stunning 30” 8 megapixel video displays which you have to see to appreciate. No photo can do it justice because the resolution of your display is a joke compared to what these things can do. However, just for fun I took snapshot of the display just to demonstrate how great the resolution is that it looks like I’m taking a photo of a print – not a moving video image. This is not a simulation – this is really taken from the display and you are seeing about 10% of the quality that you would in real life:

About the Images in this Article
All of the images in this article were hand-held snapshots taken with a 1D Mark IV using a 24-105mm lens in front of and with the verbal consent of Canon employees. I was at the show on a press pass and told by representatives that I could take shots of whatever I wanted.
