I'll be there. I'll try to give a good report.

>>I don't think Jan is at liberty to say, but look at it this way... don't you think it's fairly important that she's going all the way over to be there?

Hi, Chris,

I'm trying to get my boss to send me there for the weekend. The HVX200 looks like a logical next step for our facility...would love to see the output of one, even a prototype. Give me your questions and I'll try to ask them (assuming I get to go).

Steve Roark

Thank you, Steve and Cemil -- much appreciated!

Travel Request Rejected
 

Chris, my travel request was rejected...so, I gotta come up with $200 euro if I want go on my own. Normally, not a problem, but I'm taking the family to Costa del Sol the following week. My wife isn't thrilled with me spending the weekend in Amsterdam without adult supervision, anyway. Wish Panasonic would make a stop in Germany...

Again, I am planning on going.. Provided I can find a room at the inn! :-)
I'll see what dirst I can dig up...

Actually.. how about people post requests here if they have anything paticular they'd like checked out and i'll ad them to my list..

Thanks, Mikko... I'll have to give you upload privileges to our image gallery, if you're willing to share some photos with us from your digicam. By the way, where is Espoo? I have family in Rovaniemi.

Chris, I'll have my D2X with me. I can probably do some uploading. Otherwise, I can just email you a zip from the airport Saturday evening. I'm flying in Saturday morning and flying out in the evening (on my way to New York to film the UN GA and then off to Africa on a film). Let me know.

Thanks Cemil, I will give you direct upload privileges as well. Will follow up with you and Mikko tomorrow by email.

Hey all,
I will be going with my boss/employer and really looking forward to it!
I've been to NAB for the last 10 or so years, but this is my first trip to IBC...however not my first visit to Amsterdam :-) (I hear "AK-47" is the good stuff for those attending any cafe's) lol!
(FYI I work for Lorne Lapham Sales and Rentals www.llsr.com and frequent these boards to further my knowledge as much as possible)
Hope we'll all see a working version of the HVX...if anyone has any suggestions of cool products (for the dv film maker) to check out please let me know.
Last, does anyone know of any after-show events going on?
All the best,

Brian Broz
aka B-unit

Ok, Just got my plane tickets confirmed.
I'll be at IBC for practically the whole show.
I fly in Friday monring and out on Tuesday afternoon.

I'll be happy to upload pics if you give me access Chris.

..Again, what are people's requests for stuff I should be checking out? I have 5 days to pleanty of time to look stuff up and ask any questions anyone has.

Chris: Espoo is a adjoining municipality in the greater Helsinki area.

I'm also seriously considering catching the tram and getting down there. I'm in vacation now, so time is not the problem.

I'm also going to attend. I have three days planned (saturday, sunday &
monday), but I might be at a local rollercoaster park (fomerly Six Flags Holland)
one day if the weather is good.

My pass says:

Rob Lohman

Netherlands

So if you spot that stop me and introduce yourself! :)

I will bring my new Canon digital SLR with me so I can hopefully shoot some
nice pictures of new equipment (if it isn't too crowded). Since I will go on
vacation that friday I'm not sure if I have time to write something up, but I'll
see what happens.

This year I won't be attending. The comapany I work for is shipping everybody else to it, apart from me :( I have to stay behind.

I just can't afford to pay for myself either.

Maybe next year.

Mikko, I have a couple of questions that I really want to know the answer to. Mainly on the HVX, by the way :)

1- If you could be so kind as to ask the Panasonic guys about the Mac laptop compatibility problem with P2, and pressure them for a possible release date

2- The firestore HVX solution, will it be available at launch?

3- About the Pal HVX vs the NTSC one. Are all new HD sets sold worldwide compatible with either 1080/50 I or 1080 60i, or is there the same incompatibility with Pal and Ntsc? (this could be a decisive answer in order to buy a Pal or Ntsc model)

4- The Leica dicomar on the HVX is diferent (hd quality) compared to the DVX one, oris it the same glass? (I know the diameter is diferent, but is the glass constitution and capable resolution different, or is it a dvx glass "seeing HD"?)

5- Make noise about a universal pal/ntsc camera! Say the oposition is well ahead in the game on that one, and how this is non productive for ENG shooting!

6- Just heard from a colleague that sent an e-mail to Panasonic Spain that, acording to them - I have a copy of that email- the 1080i picture (and eventually the 1080/24p comes from in camera uprezzing from 720P- please confirm that that is not true!

8- Don't go to too many "coffee shops"! We need you to see everything clearly! Our fate is in your hands! (man, my humor is really bad...)
