S'allright–obviously, you're looking towards the future! 🙂
>They have been resolved with JPEG systems in the $30-50K range. Still too high
for a majority of 'consumers' but dropping each month and 1/500th of what an
equivalent analog suite cost 20 years ago.<
While I'll agree, readily, that the new computer suites are INFINITELY less
expensive than analog edit suites used to be, that still leaves something of a
gap for the video consumer/prosumer (like *moi*).
OTOH, as you say, they ARE dropping significantly in price every time we turn
around, so if I hang in for another year or so, I think I'll be looking at
consumer-affordable nonlinear equipment…
Best,
