Should I wait?
Hi,
I am considering to buy Mac system.
But, I am wonderig if apple will announce the new system(software) upcoming NAB.
I heard that Apple will introduce the new system (8 cpu), Leopard, and FCP 6.
If it is true, should I wait until NAB?
Any information would be helpful. -

“Should I wait?” That depends on how badly you need a new system.
Keep in mind, that even if Apple announces new products at NAB, It’s likely that the new products will not be shipping immediately.
So if you want to wait, you might have to wait until anywhere from May until August.
So the real question becomes, do you need the new gear to generate income now or can it wait. Only you can answer that question.

That’s always the case with the NAB announcements…. you get excited as all get out, and then wait for 4 months before anything ships.

[CharlieX] “and then wait for 4 months before anything ships. “
At that point, at least you know what’s coming.

And just remember, once FCP 6 is released (and bug fixes 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3), FCP 7.0 will be released soon after that, and that one will be REALLY cool. So perhaps if you wait until 2011, you can get FCP 41, with the new AJA Kona 13 card, that works in 64k (because 4k is so 2007 !). And when that comes out, kids will say “did people actually shoot with film at one time ?”.
