Panasonic G3 Review
Tech Radar reviews the new camera, though it has only a perfunctory coverage of the video capabilities:
No One is Using the iPad 2 to take pictures?
I'm not sure it's literally true; I saw someone taking pictures with an iPad 2 just the other day, but according to Flickr upload stats, if they are using the iPad 2 to take pictures, they aren't sharing them online.

Grass Valley has published a "White Paper" (really just a short article) abiout the production and editing of Australia's (and possibly the World's) first 3D Wedding Video using the Panasonic AG-3DA1 and EDIUS software:
The biggest change to their usual way of shooting was definitely the minimum distance required to obtain an acceptable image. Anything closer than two meters did not work as it would cause the 3D viewers’ eyes to converge unnaturally and become cross-eyed.
Shot lifespan was the other big challenge the team needed to tackle. To appreciate the 3D image fully, the viewer needs a little more screen time per shot. Because of the image’s depth, each shot appears to have more to look at—it is almost like having multiple shots at the same time—and you need to let the audience take the time to explore each one.GrassValley: Joffe 3D Wedding [PDF]

2. It's a clutter killerJigsawBroadcast: Ten Things We Love About Thunderbolt
Because Thunderbolt can transfer video, audio and 10 watts of power, you only need one cable to link out to any given device. You can then daisy chain that device to up to five others without losing speed - again only using a single cable - so you can get access to all your favourite I/O, storage and display devices without turning your desktop into a rats' nest of cables.

Panasonic G3 Review
Tech Radar reviews the new camera, though it has only a perfunctory coverage of the video capabilities:
No CSC or DSLR is complete without video recording capability these days and the G3 can shoot full HD (1920x1080 pixel) as AVCHD or Motion JPEG files, output at 30fps or 25fps. Full time AF and AF tracking is available during filming, something which isn't available in Panasonic's flagship GH2.TechRadar: Panasonic G3 review
