Any suggestions?

Hello Everyone,

I am still very new to this whole video thing and am just starting to get gear together. Right now I have a Macbook Pro and FCS but I don't have any sort of camera. I was hoping that maybe some of you might be able to suggest some fairly inexpensive video cameras I could look into. This will just be for personal use so I certainly do not need anything high end.

Thanks,
Nathan

CalDigit RAID Solutions

Hello Everyone,

I am thinking about bringing some CalDigit equipment into our store to be able to demo. I was wondering if there was any particular hardware of theirs that anyone might be interested in. As of right now I am leaning towards bringing in the HDElement and RAID card to display with our Mac Pro. Would this be something that anyone would find of interest?

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Cheers,
Nathan
