SMPTE 2007 Trade Show

Well, SMPTE at Sydney's Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre has passed by again, a massive plethora of new gear this year particulary with cameras and associated bits. Highlights for me was Apple's new Colour grading application, included with Final Cut Studio 2; the Panasonic HPX-3000 high-end HD P2 camera with native 1920x1080 capture to the new AVC-Intra codec (but NO variable frame rates for some reason); Lemac showing the SI-2K data camera (at least a small part of it!) and also i attended the launch of the ACS 50th Year, held at the Powerhouse Museum, where many drinks and a chat were to be had.

But by far the most interesting event of the week was the highly anticipated presentation of the amazing RED ONE camera system at the AFTRS theatrette last night - more on that in an upcoming post.
