27th September 2004 - Nokia today kicked off a weeklong
display of its expanding assortment of intelligent imaging
devices and printing solutions, highlighted by the new
Nokia 6670 megapixel smartphone. Present for the first
time at photokina, the biennial photographic and imaging
sector trade fair in Cologne, Nokia is showcasing its
commitment to delivering the benefits of mobile imaging
with industry-leading solutions in the areas of capturing,
editing, viewing, sharing, printing and storing.
"Mobile imaging is on an explosive growth path.
We foresee that already next year, three out of four
digital capture devices will be camera phones,"
said Juha Putkiranta, Senior Vice President, Multimedia
Imaging, Nokia. "With a broadening portfolio of
smart, connected imaging devices and collaboration with
the best players in the imaging industry, Nokia is well-positioned
to drive this growth."
At photokina, Nokia has an innovative and compelling
story to tell - to consumers and imaging professionals
alike. Nokia is providing live demos, among others,
of its range of megapixel imaging devices: the Nokia
6670, the Nokia 7610 and the Nokia 6630. These device
demonstrations prove the benefits that mobility brings
to imaging: the opportunity to take a photo or record
video will never be lost as your device is constantly
with you; secondly, you can immediately share images
and video with others; and, thirdly, you can save images
or video, for example in a virtual photo album on the
web.
In addition to the latest selection of Nokia imaging
smartphones, the Nokia exhibition area (Hall 8.2, C-049/D-040)
offers visitors the opportunity to experience an assortment
of Nokia enhancements and other solutions. These range
from the Nokia Image Frame and Nokia Image Album to
direct printing in collaboration with Hewlett-Packard
and Kodak. Visitors can also try on-screen photo, video
and movie editing, and the Nokia Lifeblog, an automatic
digital diary, which records and organizes digital content
- such as images, videos or messages - creating a personal
logbook or multimedia memo directly on the phone.
In the Nokia Business Lounge (Hall 8.2, C-009), photokina
visitors can admire a set of photographs taken by Rankin,
the highly acclaimed British fashion photographer. Rankin
used a Nokia 7610 megapixel imaging device to craft
six enchanting photographs accompanied by 60 inspiration
shots. The photographs were inspired by the legendary
Cottingley fairy photographs, which Rankin re-created
with a modern twist using the latest technology from
Nokia.
Another highlight at this year's photokina is "Princess
for one day", where female visitors have a chance
to be styled by top make-up artist Ulrich Remus and
then photographed by star photographer Guido Karp. The
styling process is captured with a Nokia 7610 imaging
phone, and each participant is given a copy of her star
portrait taken with professional equipment, as well
as a CD-ROM with video clips and photos documenting
her transformation into a princess.
