Re: Nikon D800 or Canon D5 mark 3
That's interesting. I've been considering getting a D800 for video. I may have to rent one and try it out before taking the plunge.

Re: Creative cloud separate from CS5?
Thanks for that info on sizes.
The only other things I'd get would be Dreamweaver and Muse, in addition to the stuff you listed, so I should be ok.

Re: Importance of a signed contract
I've used contracts for 13 years. My contract page has 23 bulleted "terms and conditions" at about 6 pt font so they all fit on one page.

Drop in price?
BH is selling it new for $2999.
Isn't that quite a bit lower than when it first came out? I don't remember the MSRP.

Re: New! Sony FDR-AX1 4K Handycam!
Not bad.
This looks like it is the re vamped AX2000.
Wondering if we'll see an NXCAM upgrade too.... If 64 GB holds 2 hours, the 128 GB FMU would hold 4 hours at 4K.
