Digital Convergence Podcast Episode 60: The Uber-megapixel Nikon D800 and Has FCP X Got Its Groove Back?

Are the new Nikon D800 and D800E - each sporting a huge 36 megapixel full-frame sensor - worthy competitors of the venerable Canon 5D Mark II? planetMitch (planet5D.com) gives us the details on these new Nikon cameras. Canon also released new product this week - the successor to the 24-70mm f2.8 L lens. The new lens is $1,000 more than the original. Is it worth it?

The big news last week was Apple's 10.0.3 update to FCP X. Post-production guru Chris Fenwick (chrisfenwick.com) gives FCP X's new multicam feature a thorough work out on a new music video that was shot last week. How does the new multicam feature stack up against other NLE's? Is this finally the FCP X release everyone has been waiting for? Has FCP X finally got its groove back? Listen to the show to hear Chris' reaction to this new update. 

We wrap up the show with our picks and recommendations. Chris makes an incredible offer to our listeners - you will have to listen to the show to get the details!
