Camera Company Pro Video Show: Mar 12 & 13

If you're in the greater Boston area, the upcoming Camera Company Pro Video Show on Friday March 12th and Saturday March 13th is worth checking out. Manufacturers reps from the major companies will be there (Sony, Canon, JVC and Panasonic), as well as Shure, Manfrotto, AJA Video, Kata, Glidecam, and others. There are also free seminars, and some workshops (that cost very little.) I went to a couple of the workshops last year, and they were definitely worth the $25-$35 cost!
