It was a great NAB for cameras! Blackmagic looks intriguing and great price/specs but built-in 90 min. battery and lack of demo footage leaves lots of questions marks...

Saw the Sony FS700 in Sony 4K Theater - 240fps looks fantastic and $8,000 price is a bargain for this camera especially once they unlock the 4K port. Sony will sell a LOT of FS700's!

Canon also had a 4K theater showing the C500 and EOS1D C footage. I thought they were both horribly overpriced until I saw the footage - these 2 cameras will be huge game changers and relative bargains when comparing to Red, Alexa and F65. I'm hoping the 1D C will be ready by the time I start my next feature - love this camera! I expect both these cameras to be used on every type of show in the future from commercials to tent-pole features.

Big losers were Panasonic and JVC which have both fallen way behind in the digital cinema camera realm with JVC going strictly for news shooters and Panasonic showing a "prototype" Varicam? Weird.

Nikon had a booth for the first time showing their HDMI DSLR's but didn't really know how to set up a booth with relatively tiny LCD's here and there which really didn't tell you what their cameras are capable of. But they do seem to be listening to users and wanting to make inroads into digital cinema...
