Hi Christian,

We've found the Nikon 16-35/f4 to be perform a bit better than the 17-35/f2.8 in terms of corner sharpness. Might be something to keep in mind if you want to shoot rectilinear as opposed to going with the fisheyes, i.e. Sigma 15mm or Nikon 16mm. 

Cheers,

I posted the release today on our nauticamusa.com site and sent it to the press.

I have to be on the internet to use their software? What if I'm on a boat several days away from civilization?

I asked the Adobe Creative Cloud "Evangelist" at NAB about this... he said that the software only needs to check in about once a month. If you plan to be in the field with no internet for more than a month, you can call in to get a special code for the trip. 

BTW, they were also passing out $29/mo coupons at NAB; am guessing that, at least for now, it shouldn't be too hard to get the $29/mo price even without owning current CS products. 

Looks pretty nice, am signed up for the beta. Am hopeful this will be useful... it's very frustrating to me how bad the media management capability of FCP7, FCPX, and Premiere are. I thought Prelude would be helpful, but it is useless for this as well. 

Adobe says the reason they can't rename clips is due to restrictions in some formats (AVCHD comes to mind). It will be interesting to see how Bulletproof handles this. 

It is one thing to ignore the disk space needed for highly compressed video... but data rates are going up....4K, especially RAW, is another story. I like that with REDCINE-X I can at least delete clips. 

[edited: thought you could rename clips with redcine-x but apparently not]

One similar camera that I really favor a lot, especially since they are practically giving the camera bodies away right now, is the Panasonic GX1. Basically the same imager as the EM5 (though without the EVF) - right now at less than 1/3 the cost.
