JVC introduces New Final-Cut-Pro 6™-Ready Solid State Camcorders
This could totally change my world:
JVC Press Release - New Final-Cut-Pro™-Ready Solid State Camcorders
The growing trend in the professional video market is to record directly from camera to solid state memory, and the current leading solutions have made the workflow quite expensive for most users, relying on proprietary media and file formats. In addition, compatibility with major non-linear editing (NLE) systems requires codec converting or re-wrapping format files, a process that significantly slows down the post production process. Professional users are yearning for a simple, fast solution that allows instant editing of recorded material without file conversion, and a media cost approaching the economy of tape.

6 to 10 times HD quality for less than $20K
This is actually a pretty good demonstration of the ease of use for Red cameras new system of super high-definition (my term) acquisition. This is also the most convoluted demo I've ever seen, but in the end it makes great sense for video techies like myself. Unless you've got a 4096×2160 projector (or monitor) you won't see a huge difference, but what an amazing bang for the buck these guys are giving us.RED / Red Mythbusters

D90: I must have you..
Nikon D90 Hands-on Review | B&H Photo Video Pro Audio
A key technical – and creative - benefit of shooting video with the Nikon D90 is that the camera's DX-format CMOS sensor is far larger than the sensors found in most consumer camcorders. As a result, the image quality of video captured with the Nikon D90 is noticeably sharper and contains fuller detail and tonality in the mid-tones as well as in highlights and shadow areas. And because you can make full use of the full lineup of Nikon-mount lenses from fisheye through super telephoto - not to mention fast, wide-aperture lenses for incorporating selective focus into your video - your creative options regarding lens choices are as good as it gets.
Not that I really want to shoot video all the time with a DSLR, but whoah baby, look at this video. First clip isn't impressive, but others are amazing.

Video assesses learning
Good article on using video in the classroom, particularly for assessment.
Techlearning > > Caught on Video > April 22, 2008
Constantly using video (a medium that allows for self-viewing and self-reflection) in the classroom will have a consistent, underlying message: Learning is important enough to be captured, shared, and archived. Video begs for reviewing and rewinding much more than a letter grade could ever hope for. Learning captured by video suggests a continuum in which a letter grade suggests completion.Posted by cmwillis at 10:57 PM |

There's nothing about this photoblog I don't like. Check it out!
Be sure to notice the nifty on-the-picture navigation. How do I get one?
Update: I guess UTC's staff web server doesn't support php 4.0 yet. Kudos to Dwayne and Tubatomic.com for giving this awesome script away though. Check it out here: http://www.tubatomic.com/revolver/.
Some pretty cool stuff going on here in the 'Noog.
