Yesterday I went to the first showing of RED Camera press conference.  Ted from RED showed a series of new cameras that will change the way people think of motion and still photography in the digital age.

These cameras are amazingly small and have configuration options that fit a wide variety of needs. The 28K ultra-ultra wide format camera captures a bigger than IMAX image, but is 1/100 of the weight. RED Camera’s main message is that they are really just getting started.

I got back from the annual pilgrimage to National Association of Broadcasters and wanted to throw out some observations and see what other people thought. For me, it was the shortest trip yet, flying in Monday morning and leaving 24 hours later! Still, I came in looking for very specific new technologies and came away very pleased.

The 2006 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show was noticable for the lack of buzz this year. The main takeaway was that digital workflow will change everything, which was pretty much the same message of the last few years. But this year, the message seems stronger and more immediate with completely tapeless workflows being a reality.
