Pro Photographer Conversion to Digital Photography Creates New Opportunities, According

to New InfoTrends Report

NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2004--InfoTrends Research Group's latest

study of pro photographers shows that 79% of professional photographers are already

using a digital camera. Of those that do not yet use a digital camera, nearly half plan to

purchase a digital camera in 2004.

Complete immersion in digital photography occurs over time for pro photographers,

because going digital requires a substantial investment in digital imaging equipment. While

many pro photographers are using digital cameras, many are still in an early stage of a

transition to digital photography.

"Our survey results show that most pro photographers have started using digital cameras,

and that the longer they use digital, the more they integrate digital photography into their

businesses/studios," says Michelle Slaughter, Director of Digital Photography Trends at

InfoTrends Research Group. "We see a significant amount of business opportunity in this

segment of the market, not only for manufacturers of digital cameras, but also for those

that offer printing solutions, storage solutions, and services for marketing photos via the

Internet and managing photo assets. We expect 2004 to be a strong year for sales of

professional digital photographic equipment."

InfoTrends' new survey report entitled 2004 Professional Photographer Survey is available

immediately. It is based on a survey of 1,000 professional photographers in the United

States.

Incredible.

Not only is it a press release, but it is a slectionf from the press release, which David would

have noticed had he bothered to look. But it's more fun for him to rant, apparently.
