NAB 2014 is right around the corner, and no doubt it'll be chock full of all kinds of whizz-bang stuff that will make us all think, "I must have that thingy! It'll make my career skyrocket!"
The tools won't make your career. Sorry. What I reckon would be more worth all of our while is trying to figure out more cool stuff to do with what we already have.
Here's an experiment I did with my trusty old Panasonic GH2, a very small mirrorless camera that shoot great video. The newer GH3 is no doubt a bit better, and the GH4 looks like it'll rise above the crowd, but I don't think that will remove the utility of the old GH2.
If you're going to NAB, please stop by the Airbox Lights booth and see what inflatable softboxes can do for plain old LED panels. See the new Model 1x1 and Model 126! Make ugly into beautiful! Games! Prizes! Gear! All your questions answered!
