I didn't attend this year; but one of my Producer friends did.
Friday, I sat down with him and asked him about all this "3D" buzz.
He looked at me with a puzzled look. He thought the biggest thing was
acquisition using Digital SLR cameras such as the Canon 5D. (An
episode of Fox's "House" was recently shot using one 5D camera.)
He saw a lot of camera accessory booths prominently featuring the
Canon 5D camera and their accessories.
It's an interesting observation, as two news photographer friends who
attended mentioned the 3D as well. I guess folks in different fields
took away different perspectives.
I too heard that the D-SLR buzz was the REAL big thing at NAB.
I'm not surprised. A number of years ago, when Panasonic announced
that they were moving from tape to solid state memory (P2), I
suggested that the digital camera makers would eventually take
control of the video acquisition market. It was clear even then that
the huge consumer market for digital photography would evolve into
photos and video. Dedicated professional video gear is simply too
small of a niche to survive for long...
I am now hearing from friends who had made large investments in
traditional HD acquisition gear that they are losing business to new
shops using the Canon 5D.
