When will I be able to buy Blu-ray products?


If you live in the US or Canada you can already find Blu-ray players from Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Philips and Pioneer available in stores, as well as a growing selection of Blu-ray movies. We also expect to see Blu-ray players from LG and Sharp, as well as a second-generation Blu-ray player from Samsung introduced in the near future. The first Blu-ray hardware and software should also be available in many European countries now.

I used to have one of the pro/sumer HDV sonys with 3 CCD and all, but now I'm pretty happy with this little camera, shooting to HDD is great.

That's really great. I always wondered how the consumer HD products looked - and for 1k, that's pretty stunning. I have a Panasonic HVX200 which also shoots 1080i but with the DVCPROHD. I just finished up shooting a feature with it, and it did a pretty fantastic job. From shooting on film to HD, I have to say I prefer the flexibility of HD.

It's a Sony HDR-SR1, it shoots 1080i in the AVCHD format. Pretty cool camera, you can find it online for about 1k.

I take my son down there at least once a month, really great aquarium.

Your Vimeo vids are great. What did you shoot on? I like what you captured at the Aquarium in Long Beach. I used to work just up the street from that place.

It's a word-for-word parody of Susan Powter's first workout video, featuring poodles and a crazy poodle-woman. Absolutely surreal. As reported by Ant, it was made by Nagi Noda for Panasonic. It was part of 10 films they made for the 2004 Athens Olympics.

OLEDs TOLEDs and FOLEDS have been in development for about 5 years now, ever since some uni researchers' work was stolen on bioluminescense.

I've been waiting for them for ages, without much change in the released information because alot of companies are keeping their cards close to their chests. The most finished version I saw about a year ago was a samsung or panasonic 18" monitor using OLED's and it looked awesome.

My question is, why would you choose lacrosse footage to show off your new tech?
