Another brilliant and helpful review from our old friend Philip Johnston over at HD Warrior. This time he's looked at the Panasonic AG-AF101. It's twenty minutes long and well worth the watch. All the camera spec after the break.

Active Storage have come up with a Metadata controller that looks like the now defunct Xserve. They're very proud of their new baby especially its ''out of the box'' readiness.

Ever wondered which card is better out of these two beasts? Well we've found a guy who tested these monsters to the max.

Good news for all those DaVinci fans out there. Blackmagic Design has certified Cubix's GPU-Xpander Desktop for use with DaVinci Resolve for Mac v7.1!

Another card gets launched today, this time the beefy $1,199 NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU. With FCP, Motion & FxPlug plugins using the GPU, more GPU power means faster renders. There are speed references with FCP mentioned on their site, but be warned this model will not fit some old MacPro's.
