What's your point? Has anyone even heard of that show? You might as well have
reviewed the latest issue of "Good Housekeeping".

If you are referring to the CES or Consumer Electronics Show, then yes
quite a few folks have heard of it. I actually attended it in 1984. It is
primarily a show case for electronics and since the digital age cameras
have been included.

Over the years camera manufacturers have had an on/off presence there. Some
years good some years bad, mainly due to the vague relationship between
digital imaging and other consumer electronics. These days the camera
manufacturers stick to the photography related trade shows and few are to
be found at CES, but plenty of stuff Rich has no interest in can be
discovered there.

Yes, anyone has heard of CES. The Consumer Electronics Show is the
largest trade show of any kind on Earth* and does, indeed, draw a great
deal of attention from electronics vendors and buyers. It features
myriad consumer-grade digital cameras. Attendance in 2016 was 177,000,
including more than 7,000 members of the press.

*Bloomberg Business News reported in 2015: "The Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas has a problem that many events would love to have:
It's become too big. And it doesn't want to get any bigger.

"With as many as 160,000 visitors to CES‹the world's largest annual
trade show‹the Nevada city's sprawling hotels are stretched to the
limit. Last January's gathering of gadget-loving geeks somehow packed
in a full 10,000 more people than Las Vegas has rooms for them to sleep
in."

The inability of CES to accommodate everyone who would like to attend
caused the Consumer Electronics Association to hold a second show in
China in 2015.
