Jeff: >Tim, you may be right about it taking that long for digital acquisition to become commonplace. Ikegame and AVID have been working on the digital dockable camera for a while now, but that is still quite cutting edge, IMHO.< Yes–I've also heard that Sony's announcing a digital VHS VCR this summer but, w/a SLP of $2,000, I think it's gonna be awhile before folks buy that for the home! Another interesting thing I've heard is from an artist/filmmaker friend of mine–her editor suggested that she transfer her film footage for her latest work to digital beta for editing… Of course, my interest is still on digital for the low end industrial/ consumer market–any ideas on when *that* will start to hit?
