It's the first day of the show yet there is nothing anywhere about the stuff that has been shown. What gives?
 
The first real day of the show is Monday. That's when the exhibits/show floor opens. We'll probably see some announcements trickle in tomorrow afternoon, but don't expect much until Monday.

Panasonic, Sony and Red are releasing new cameras and specs on Monday for sure.

I'm curious to see if Digital Bolex is releasing a new firmware update with more features and frame rates as well. They seem like an innovative company that needs to stay fresh in the new 4k world.

Blackmagic will have something out of left field I'm sure. They have made a ton of money off of cameras. Every filmmaker and their Grandmother has a BMPCC. Probably a 5k something coming out.
 
Yes Monday morning is when the marketing explosion occurs. Past two years running Blackmagic was a juggernaut over NAB. A have a feeling they may take a different tack this year but just a hunch.

The major camera manufacturers have been shifting their release dates of cameras over the past few years from their traditional release times. It used to be that they would have cameras under a glass case in the early fall and release them at NAB. And then some would announce their cameras a couple of months before NAB.

Panasonic has been quiet over the past number of years since the AF-100 with the obvious exception of the two s35 Varicam models which seem to be aimed at the rental market. Hoping they are going to come out with a hybrid ENG s35 or 1" sensor camera line with a Varicam sensibility.

Someone said to me a few weeks ago that NAB 2015 was going to be all about drones and brushless gimbals. We'll see in a couple of days.

I'm catching a 6:00am flight to Vegas tomorrow morning, but like everyone stated, I'm not going to bother going until Monday. I will post whatever new cams are shown by Tuesday.
 
“Now, in a world where 4K shooting is fast becoming the norm, we’ve decided to go for a new breakthrough, and try to create another disruption in the industry and hit like the DVX100. I hope you’ll come to the Panasonic booth at NAB and see what we have in mind.”

Another DSLR (albeit 4K) is not, in and of itself, "a new breakthrough"...

No, but if it was central to a whole purpose designed system that made a DSLR much more usable and ergonomic (think a much improved YAGH) it could be a breakthrough. And give much of what people want at a lower cost than a dedicated "AF200". We'll see.
