Pentax K-m, Eye-Fi, Lensbaby, Seitz, Minox spy cameras, Hasselblad, Kodak and the rest round out Photokina

With HD video appearing in dSLRs and ever-higher resolution cameras leading to bigger file sizes, memory is as important as ever. Step forward Pretec, which has magicked a 100GB of storage into a CompactFlash card. That's a lot of raw files.

Meanwhile, Eye-Fi is still beavering away at making large memory redundant by providing Wi-Fi transfer straight to the cloud. As well as doubling wireless transfer speeds to 700KBps, Eye-Fi has made the process of transferring images from its SD card, pictured, to the Web simpler with three new services. The Eye-Fi Manager Web application acts as a portal to beam your images to any of more than 20 photo sharing sites, social networks or blogs -- now including Apple's MobileMe -- for $9.99 (£5.40) a year. There's also a geotagging tool and access to Wayport hotspots and open hotspots in the States. Yes, there's still no sign of the Eye-Fi coming over here, but when it does, this Craver, for one, will be all over that shiznit.
