Liven up by a Gospel group, Microsoft's Executive President Steve Ballmer, made the opening speech at the fair.
A large audience at The Venetian Hotel, which took the event in, forced the responsibles for the establishment to close the access to it, so many journalists and professionals of the field were obliged to follow the speech through the internet from some of the adjacent rooms.

Sony Balanced Optucal SteadyShot
With reflex cameras equipped with the video recording function and a videocameras market which has been diminished because of that, manufacturers have had to manage to give their Handycams the touch of difference in order to get them nearer to consumers again.

Because of that, it softens the movements that may be produced in the inside.
