The PMA 09 International Convention and Trade Show will take place from March 3-5, 2009 in Las Vegas. Here are some expected cameras I'll keep an eye on:
1) Panasonic G1 HD. It will probably record in some kind of AVCHD format but in what quality? Auto focus during video recording seems to be sure. This could come very close to my dream camera if they do it right.
2) Nikon D400. Only rumours so far but it should have movie recording. If the recorded Live View image is still produced by skipping pixels I'm afraid we'll get stairsteps and aliasing just like from the D90 or Canon 5D markII.
3) Pentax K30D. 24 fps JPEGs for a longer recording time would be great. Proper downscaled images also, but I'm afraid that's wishful thinking.
We'll see soon if there's some positive surprise.
