Well, the NAB Show 2012 expo and conference is well underway after the first day of the expo and in the first couple of days there have been some truly groundbreaking announcements to report. Today's newsletter contains many of these important announcements and you can watch for even more news over the next few days as others share the news about their latest and greatest. We will send out a daily recap for the next few days and will then return to our regular weekly newsletter schedule.
What are the biggest surprises so far? On Sunday, Autodesk announced their new Mac-based Autodesk Smoke that will sell for $3495. Yes, you read that right: Autodesk Smoke for Mac, priced at $3495. In this authorized pre-announcement peek, the COW's Walter Biscardi looks at what this means to many longtime Apple editors. You can read Walter's report and take part in the active discussion.
Then first thing Monday morning, Blackmagic Design introduced their new BMD Cinema Camera featuring a 2.5K image sensor with 13 stops of dynamic range. You get a built-in SSD recorder, open standard uncompressed RAW and compressed file formats, compatibility with quality EF and ZF mount lenses, LCD touchscreen monitoring plus metadata entry, all packed into a hand-held design. The new camera will sell for around $3000. This news brought BMD's website down for much of the day due to huge traffic. To join the discussion, here is a great discussion in one of our forums http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/335/31228#31228 and you can search for other conversations taking place throughout Creative COW.
The forums are alive with people talking about these two big news items but these two items are not alone by any means and in this issue of the Creative COW Newsletter, we have a lot of news for you. There is much, much more that you can find online at news.creativecow.net
