If so, can you look at the toys for us, in particular the cameras and report back to us? Would be much appreciated if we have a lafcpug reporter there.

May I ask how you got a pass?
If you do have one, and are not using it on Sat, I'd love to get it if possible.
I'll be there Saturday, with nothing other than hope to get in!

3D TVs, Cameras, Tablets, Good lord there are so many new toys. Did you read the new SDXC cards? They will hold 2TBs. Holy crap.

Canon announced a boatload of stuff today.

Basically you need to know a dealer or be a dealer to get into the show as its not open to public.

Sure. Whatever is easy for you. Post what you think is cool and folks might like. Still trying to get there this weekend but work is killing me. If I do I'll write you and we can hang for a beer.

Is Apple going to be there? I want to be sure to miss them this year. They've destroyed MacWorld Expo, as predicted.

walked showfloor yesterday. talked with Berube at Canon.

the M$ and Intel presence is MASSIVE. unbelievably cool.

Big buzzwords: 3D and touchscreen on EVERYTHING. saw lots of stuff for home networking.

maybe it is just me, but not as much/informative as NAB which is more Post/Professional.

or maybe i'm getting old. ;-)

Hi Chris
Good to hear from you. You seen any tablets? 3D Bravias? Xbox Natal or PS3 stuff? Show Girls?

Intel's new itty bitty chips are looking to be game changers
