This is our final NAB 2007 preview newsletter. The Convention is about to open its doors in Las Vegas and as we leave for the airport, the press releases are coming thick and fast so we'll have plenty to report back.

One item which caught our interest was the announcement that Ikegami and Toshiba are collaborating on an advanced tapeless video production and editing system, including a professional camera and video recorder, based on Flash memory as the main storage medium. The system won't be available until next year, but we hope to find out more at NAB 2007.
