Uh. Wait!

Pana & Sony are expected to unveil several surprise Cams at NAB
Here in Las Vegas Next Month ...  April 8th - 12th

  I expect a compromised teeny tiny Palm 24p cam that     
 runs on both NTSC and PAL with Motion Picture 24 fps. 
 If Pana plays its cards right, this 24p will become #1 DV!

Also this Pana 24p augers to be a new mini DV format   
that may be a step closer to High Definition in a Radical 
Prosumer Camcorder Form Factor!

Pana is expected to show off their version of OLED.  

Pana has reversed for the third time in as many years their offices and has decided to move everyone and everything 
back  to Secaucus New Jersey.     GO FIGURE!!!

Pana  will try and have a DVD burner camcorder before Sony 
& a prototype is expected at NAB according to Japan rumors

Pana may show with either Fuji or TDK next NAB (2003) 
the Three hour LP / 2 hour SP...  mini DV video tape. 

Samsung and Taitung may show their new 9" OLED 
wall hanging TV's at NAB as well.

Bulletin Bulletin Bulletin
Canon Races to NAB With....
Nothing!
They have managed to grab defeat from the 
Jaws of success Yet ANOTHER Year.  
"They are now securely in LAST place!
Amazing Market Strategy! 
Strikes again...  
Maybe.. Just Maybe the overdue XL-2
and it's step child, the GL-2 will arrive 
before the new Millennium change !!!!


I am predicting that this time next year it will be next to
     impossible to give away  5, 10 or 15 thousand dollar TFT
clunkers due to the OLED 1 & $2,000 models.

Sony says it will be cheaper to migrate from 500 line
mini DV straight to 1000 line DVD than to try to re-
invent the wheel with a high resolution mini DV Tape.  

I expect to see a DVD burner for UNDER $200 at NAB

I also expect to see a DVD burner the size of a CD jewel 
case and thus spell the death of floppy disk, even CD's  
and any kind of half step measures such as ZIP drives. 

  But, I have recently seen demo's of new forms of 
hard memory devices that Flash Memory Chips 
can rise up and challenge ALL forms of memory
and storage including hard disk drives.  A Flash
    Memory from Simple Tech running 20 GB and the 
size of a postage stamp and cost seemingly as  
 much as a postage stamp could spell trouble for
any  competitor including DVD-RW and HDD... 
period!
 


 We have  at NAB a new set of Optics from a new source.
 The promise is pictures so clear... that the image will seem A- Live!
 This new technology should appear in most brands of camcorders   
 within a year.  I am sure it will be the demise of Name Brand lens
 optics such as Canon, Zeiss and Leica being bally hoo'd.. .                                         

Hit HERE To See New NAB Stuff! it HERE To See AH

More to come...  Keep watching !
