>> Panasonic Exhibit - it may have been even bigger than Canon's which was
>> itself gigantic.  Panasonic was really pushing the Lumix brand, had 3D HD
>> video on exhibit, and more cameras than I could count.  I did get a look
>> at the new 14mm pancake.  It's thinner than the 20mm pancake and the few
>> images I was able to take with it look pretty good wide open.
