Different ways of creating object

I noticed 2 ways of creating object.

First Way
========
BUfferedImage BufferedImageObject= new BufferedImage(60,50,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);



Second Way
=========
BUfferedImage BufferedImageObject= ImageIO.read(new FILE(C:\\Image.jpg));

I do understand the difference in functionality. That is not a problem. But in the Second Way, we are NOT using the "new" keyword. SO, in the Second way, is an object created????

Check out the source for ImageIO.read(). I bet it (or something that it calls) creates a new BufferedImage using the "new" keyword. Then the method simply returns that instance.
