Shooters at a glanceExpect to see these cameras on the showfloor of Photokina. PredictionsHere are what our tea leaves say could possibly be seen at the Photokina event.  Panasonic and Samsung have a couple of cameras with ultra-wide-angle lenses, and it has proven to be quite popular with shutterbugs. Although Sony, Nikon and Canon may not have similar shooters under their belts now, they have begun to introduce more standard wide-angle (28mm) shooters, so ultra-wide-angle point-and-shoots from these companies may not be far off the horizon.
