JOIN OUR PANEL UNVEILING A DIGITAL MUSEUM CAMERA THAT ALSO
FILLS YOUR NEEDS
The Museum Computer Network (MCN) is staging a round table on 11/6 (at
its 2003 Conference in Las Vegas) that will specify the requirements of a
superior digital camera, which could satisfy museum imaging needs
as well as those of professionals from other fields currently handicapped
by lack of a first-rate digital imaging solution. Until now museums
have failed to share their expectations with the camera industry and no
such product has arisen. MCN's innovative panel takes another tack
by gathering the key players under one roof: camera manufacturers,
independent digital-imaging experts, and museum staffers who produce
digital photos or use them in their institution's activities. The
MCN intends to spawn a series of "dialogs with industry"
inspiring collaboration of museums and a company interested in offering
the affordable camera museums want. Kodak, our first industrial
participant in this effort, has recently put digital photography on a
fast path for all areas and is represented at the panel by the Director
of Operations for its growing Digital Camera business. Five other
panelists, who understand what museums ask of tomorrow's camera, fill out
the round table. Everett Ellin, MCN's founder and a pioneer of
Electronic Imaging since 1982, is moderator of the event. Join the
discussion and help launch a vital technology benefiting us all for
years. The "Dialogue" there is part of a digital imaging
track, featured at the upcoming MCN Conference that includes a variety of
workshops and related sessions. Conference information and on-line
registration for this day (or the full program) can be found at
