Thoughts/Notes on Day 1 at the DV Expo East.
 

Aside from me still recovering from a bad cold the show was great. Caught a look at the new Sony PD-110? as well as the Canon GL-2.
I also got a chance to meet the one & only Chris Hurd!
**Note to Chris: I'm sorry I didn't have time to chat a little longer, but I'll be there again today & will definitely swing by the Canon booth. Oh yeah, was the Soderbergh autographed XL-1S at the Canon booth for sale or just show?
Anyway, I would have liked to have seen more accessory companies there (such as Varizoom) but oh well. The EZFX Jib & Junior Jib as well as the Hollywood Lite Steadicam configurations were awesome; as was the Soderbergh autographed XL-1S at the Canon booth. The Gyoury light kit was also quite sweet and definitely worth a closer look.
All in all I would say it was definitely a success.

I attended too, and also sat in on the GL-2 demo at 1:00. An extremely interesting time, including sampling the EZ FX Jibs for highly useful crane shots!

*Anything* is for sale in this world if the price is right... give Canon USA a call.

It was great to meet you guys on the show floor! See ya next time,

I'm so disappointed i couldn't make it..........this is my busy season and i just can't get "free" time to get down to the Javits center- i'm glad you guys posted this.

When is the last day for the Dv Expo? Maybe I can still make it.

Have fun guys- post whatever you find there on this thread so we can all drool.

Made it down and got a demo of the new GL2 from... CHRIS!!!! Lol, it was cool seeing the face behind the post and he was just as all-knowing in person as he is online. lol, and just as cool. Sawsome great stuff and realize I need a new credit card!!!

Ah don't make me blush... we had good training. Great to meet you. I hear you loud and clear about that credit line.
