Jeff Cutler picked me up and drove me over to the Venetioan. Lots of construction going on in Las Vegas.
I dropped in to the Social Media Jungle and heard Chris Heur speak.
I went ot a bunch of press conferences today, but the most interesting thing of the morning was Jeff Cutler's interview with the Pico Projector people:

Then I met up with Greg Verdino for the Panasonic press conference:
Joe Jaffe was there too:
Crayon brought me out here as a guest of Panasonic and I thank them for that. These two guys were also covering the press conference for Engadget:
The coolest thing was the 1/3" HD TV:

Later, we had a nice dinner with Panasonic executives. They are really interested in listening. I liked that. I also like PF Changs. I'd never been there and these cucumbers were AMAZING:
I also got all these cameras to try out:
They all have a different way of charging. I hope the electronics community standardizes on one way soon:
I'm looking forward to using these camera's tomorrow. I grabbed Greg's camera and took some amazing shots with it. I told him to put them up on hos flickr account. The Panasonic Lumix G1 has a 14 mm lens so I'm excited to head out to the show floor tomorrow nad shoot some photos with it.
I wish we were able to try the newer HD video camera, since I heard it shoots MPEG-4 H.264. I'll report back on the process of shooting HD video and editing with the SD 100. The SW20 works under water too, not sure how I might test that.
See you tomorrow.
