My blog updates have been few and far between these days.  Fortunately this has presented me with several new ideas for posts, all which are “in queue” waiting to be written.  In the mean time NAB happened.  HOPEFULLY there are a couple of good posts that will come out of that.  For example, I think I’ve found the perfect solution to my storage quandary and if rumors are to be trusted I’ll be getting an advanced model to review.  It fits in the NAS category and I’m super excited about trying it out.

Read on to see what’s been going on plus twitter and some ideas I have for future posts…

When you look at what’s out there, you can’t beat a 3k camera for $3k. Then mid September they announced that Scarlet was basically going to be scrapped and redesigned. While no one knew exactly what that meant, I’ve been holding out hope that the specs will be even better.  I wanted to get in on the first batch of orders. But this announcement changes everything! It’s bigger than anyone imagined.

A few hours before the announcement Jim Jannard “leaked” a few renders of the new design. In case you haven’t been following, Jim had been in the press lately raving about how huge this announcement is going to be – taking some jabs for his enthusiasm along the way.
