World Premiere – Camera & Photo Imaging Show Announcement about the online-only organization of CP+2021
The Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) (president: Masaya Maeda; address: MA Shibaura Bldg., 3-8-10 Shibaura, Minato-ku, Tokyo Japan) had been preparing to host CP+2021 in a new form by holding it on-site at PACIFICO Yokohama and also online as an international world premiere show for camera & photo imaging to introduce the latest products and technologies as well as to communicate the future of the industry and the fun and growing popularity of photo imaging culture.
However, in view of the fact that the number of COVID-19 infection cases has recently been soaring once again, we have decided to cancel the on-site organization of the event at PACIFICO Yokohama and hold only CP+2021 ONLINE.
As you know, many events have recently been successfully held in an online format, and we will ensure that CP+2021 ONLINE can be participated in by the maximum number of exhibitors. We will thus hold the international camera & photo imaging show online to introduce the camera & photo imaging industries and photo imaging culture from Japan to the world. We hope for your continued support for the event.

Robin Wong:
Many people kept saying camera manufacturers should learn from smartphone technologies, especially when it comes to AI, computational processing and HDR innovation. I disagree. I still believe that smartphone manufacturers have a lot more to improve and should learn a thing or two from real camera makers on how to fully optimize image processing without compromising pixel integrity. In this video I explore what a 64MP image sensor in a latest smartphone from Xiaomi’s Poco can do, versus an old entry level Olympus PEN E-PL7 with a kit lens, with merely a 16MP image sensor. Does megapixel count really matter? Does computational photography make all the difference? Is camera manufacturer really falling behind when it comes to delivering ultimate image quality? I explore all these in multiple shooting scenarios, from good light to low light, harsh dynamic range environment as well as close up, or shooting subjects from far. I also discuss how camera manufacturers can improve their camera performance.
