Shopper Purshotam Gopalani (L) was at the Photofair mainly to buy new equipment
(2008). And it does not end there, Canon unveiled a two-pronged strategy—’Canon on Wheels’ and ‘My IXUS, My Style’—to reach out to their die-hard enthusiasts and professional fans. The entire campaign is targeted as the company’s ground level activations under a city-specific campaign, called ‘Capture Mumbai’. Canon hopes to launch the campaign this month, with mall road shows at four prime venues in Mumbai, including the Canon Image Lounge. ...Cont. on Page 14

The Mega Rush For Pixels “Your D-SLR has only 6 megapixels, but my mobile phone has 8 megapixels,” screams my friend, proudly displaying his newly acquired phone. Such a comment packs enough firepower to cause an instant complex for an amateur photographer who is just learning his ropes in photography, or even someone who does not understand the significance of megapixels. And you can’t blame such a person, for he is just a victim of the vicious campaigning by camera manufacturers who try to capture the market using the pixel power, without revealing the fact that higher megapixels only affect the optimum print size. Often we are left to wonder where the megapixel race is heading to, and what will the consumer do with the surplus resolution that he is forced to live with. Let us take a peek at the statistics. About five years back, there was a very popular semi-professional camera in the market, the Nikon D70s, which many photographers still maintain in their inventory. The camera featured 6-megapixel resolution, a standard at that time. Many professionals who used this camera, went on to print hoardings and banners with this limited resolution, without any complaints. After all, the larger the print size, the greater would be the distance from which it is viewed. This is all the more true in the case of prints larger than A4 size. For example, no one expects you to view a hoarding from 30cm distance. So, even if the pixels show up at close distances, the chances are that you won’t notice it from a greater distance. Then why do we need a 12-megapixel camera if the largest print we are going to make is an occasional
A4? Is more always the better? So much about the consumer part. Now, let us look at the trends in the digital camera market. Companies have to constantly improve the products to justify the price and to keep up with the competition. Having played around with technological innovations like Image Stabilizer and Face Detection, they found it very convenient to increase the resolution and thus create an ambiance of improvement. The result—all lower megapixel cameras were swept off the shelves, leaving no choice for the amateurs who rarely need prints larger than 4x6 inches, but to pay for the useless extra pixels that come with the camera. And more photo diodes were squeezed into the tiny sensors of ultra compacts and mobile phones. Amateurs rarely realize the drop in quality of the images unless they edit their images on Photoshop or similar software. The current trend is that all compact cameras come with a minimum resolution of 10 megapixels. This leads us to the question, where is this leading to. Our hunch is that in the amateur segment, this would stop somewhere around 15 megapixels. Highend professional D-SLRs are a special breed altogether, and hence the megapixels can go to a maximum of 50-60 megapixels with the exception of some limited edition very high megapixel cameras. But nothing can be predicted accurately for the trends often go beyond all forecasts. Whatever the trend be, the consumer will still have to live with what the camera manufacturers produce.

The good news is, across the world, retail printing is looking promising after years of decline. This has largely triggered the installations of Order Stations and with the arrival of Photobooks it has seen a spurt in retail printing, especially in urban landscape. With Kodak’s innovative Apex System generating new revenue models, how do you envisage the growth of the retail printing market in India than what it was a couple of years ago? We expect printing to grow in the country—lead by products such as Photobooks, collages etc. In many urban markets, the decline from film is almost over and the rapid sales of digital cameras and cam-phones gives us an opportunity that has to be en-cashed. We expect products like the APEX and Order Stations to help drive this trend. These products make printing fun and personalized, which is critical for success with the younger generation.
Printing and gifting great ideas on alternate media is a trend that the newer generation will be completely hooked upon. In this light, Kodak Retail solutions, especially, at the Modern trade outlets is an innovative strategy that the firm has pioneered in the country. How do you contemplate to engage the consumers into doing more with their 6 January 9, 2010
Spokesperson : P.N. Raghuvir Designation : Vice President, Retail Printing and Marketing, Kodak India
images, like customizing their own greeting cards, calendars key chains, etc? You are right—we expect printing and gifting of images on alternate media to increase. That is why we offer these products and services through many of our Kodak Express channels. Coming specifically to Modern Trade outlets, we intend to use this channel to be closer to consumers and to show them what they can do with images. Today the challenge is to show consumers what they can do with their images, and from our modern trade outlets we expect to do exactly that at places where consumers are used to shopping and hanging around. This also allows these stores to be profitable and become a one-stop-shop for all imaging requirements. We also think that the Kodak Express stores are where consumers should go for all their imaging needs. Gifting and merchandize products are an excellent added product line that all retail oriented Kodak Express store should carry.
Wedding photography is a huge business opportunity in the country, and Kodak has already positioned the welcome wedding kit for wedding photographers as a revolutionary concept. My question is how does Kodak plan to engage wedding photographers and take this
initiative forward? Kodak has always been focused on the wedding segment and on pro photographers. In fact, you can say that our success till date has been because we have been focused on this segment and have always tried to introduce products specifically targeted at them. Our current strategy is to help photographers grow their business and volumes, so that we can grow along with them. In order to do that, our strategy has three legs—launch of Kodak Digi Album Pro software, which enables photographers to create high quality wedding albums and photobooks. This software also enables photographers to create other products such as mini albums, wedding invitation cards, calendars etc. Secondly, Kodak sample album kit, which will enable photographers to display and sell this to consumers in a professional manner. And lastly, helping photographers communicate this to consumers. We do it through in-store and out-of-store advertising. Our plan is to make sure that the software becomes better, that we add and promote new value added products and communicate the same, so that photographers can increase their business. We intend to use ATL and BTL media to communicate both with photographers as well as with consumers so that we can promote the concepts.

wired binding of conventional Photo Printers, and the world’s most premium quality multimedia viewer and storage device for all professionals who look forward to on-the-go large capacity storage. Additional to all these there are a lot more to see at the Epson stall.
Can you share with us your market share across different product segments and how do you plan to increase the same going forward in this year? Epson is a clear leader when it comes to the Photo Imaging space spanning both Photo Printing and Photo Scanning Devices. We hold a healthy market share of more than 60 percent in both these spaces. Apart from this, Epson enjoys significant market share across other product categories as well. Also, while most others have de-grown during the last 12 months, Epson has posted a healthy growth. Just to give you an idea—as per the latest IDC reports— Epson’s value market share of the overall printer market stood at 22.4 percent for the July-September 2009 quarter up from 15.2 percent in the July-September 2008 quarter. That’s a 7 percentage point gain in just 12 months, which is truly remarkable. This has been made possible because of profit in each of the individual segments. For example, Epson’s value market share in the Inkjet segment was up from 27 percent in September 2008 to 36 percent in September 2009, a whopping market share gain of 9 percentage points. Our dominance of the Photo Inkjet Printer market is largely responsible for this tremendous gain. Epson photo printers are the preferred choice for all photo printing applications, be it commercial photo studio printing or photo printing for home and personal
use. We are the de-facto standard when it comes to professional graphics printing. In traditionally strong area of Dot Matrix Printers as well Epson share moved up from 48 percent to 55 percent over the course of the last 12 months. We dominate this market now. In projectors in a crowded market with over 30 other brands we stand out as the No. 1 brand with a market share of 14 percent. In retail billing printers we have a market share of 55 percent and growing. Overall, it had been a tremendous year for us and we hope to continue this phenomenal growth this year as well.
Epson has been credited with having built a huge photographic community—Fotoflock.com and the recently concluded photo contests. How do you plan to take the initiative forward? Fotoflock.com was a built out of a dream to create a space or a common platform online for all photographers or anyone genuinely interested in photography based in India to meet, learn, discuss, and share. Fotoflock is about 16 months old now and is a huge success. A first-ever initiative of its kind by anyone in India the site has become hugely popular. With revealing interviews and exciting contests, the latest news and the newest trends, members (or the Flock as they are known) can even share an image or an opinion, and get one back in return. The site now has over 4,000 registered and active members and growing rapidly. We average about 50-60,000 page views a month and growing. Fotoflock can only grow and will continue to evolve and improve. We have great plans for the year ahead for the site.

of the Year and the ultimate award —’The Most Prestigious Camera of the Year’.
Taking center stage at the Awards night, Hoshang Billimoria, CEO of Next Gen Publishing Ltd, and the Editor of Smart Photography, firstly apologized for the inordinate delay in the awards show. Wishing the audience a very happy new year, he pinpointed that, by world standards, the year 2009 was not a bad year for the Indian Imaging industry, however, for the developed markets it was one of the worst year with sales plummeting to record low. He further said that according to estimates, the Indian Imaging industry grew at around 20 percent last year and this rate is only likely to accelerate even further this year.
The award was deliberated at length by an eminent jury, which comprised of Hoshang Billimoria, (Editor), Rohinton Mehta, (Technical Editor), Gautam Rajadhyaksha, Rafique Syed, (Professional Photographers), and Rajan Nandwana (Trade Representative). Before the jury debated on technical merits of the camera for selection, Mr.Billimoria had mentioned that Panasonic’s GF-1, which was scheduled for selection, had to be withdrawn from the list, as the camera is still not launched in India.
The SP Awards have over the years been identified as a benchmark for the Imaging industry, especially since the awards are certified by the SP technical bench, after the product goes through considerable debate and testing. Canon walked away as the star performer of the evening with as many as seven awards. This included the Best Photo Quality Printer, Best Bridge Camera, Best Prosumer MidLevel Enthusiast SLR, Readers Choice Best Compact Digital Camera, Readers Choice Best D-SLR, Manufacturer
10 January 9, 2010
The highly anticipated and the most coveted award of the evening was ‘The Most Prestigious Camera of the Year Award’. And the nominees for this year were brands like Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, and Panasonic.
The voting was completely unbiased, and each jury member voted only after testing the products thoroughly. The votes were sealed in an envelope and the same was tabulated by the auditors. Undoubtedly, the winner for the ‘Most Prestigious Camera of the Year’ was Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II. And what was more interesting was that the entire jury voted for Canon and there was no competition whatsoever for the top honors, which in itself was a record. At the end of the show, the guests were seen interacting with one another over a cocktail and dinner party.
