In his current blog post, Larry adds some much needed clarification to that unfortunate statement:

I don’t think Larry was meaning this as a deprecation of Apple or FCP X. Instead, I think it is more of a note of caution based on Apple’s past tendency to use earlier adopters as beta testers. Features will probably be missing and bugs will still be present.
And then version x.25 comes along and the sun will shine again for the early adopters.

Upgrading the GPU might be possible in the future on this machine. A breakdown of the machine reported on AppleInsider shows that it actually uses a card to mount the GPU. Now, as to whether there will actually be cards made as a replacement in the future is an open question.

I think the most likely explanation is that they are waiting on the release of Snow Leopard. I think that Apple has been working on the ProApps for a while and they are designing them to take advantage of all the major rewriting that is supposed to be happening in Snow Leopard. Or they’re gonna release next week.

If your DVCPRO HD equipment goes to the LA office it will more than likely be worked on personally by a very astute fellow named Kim Din (sp?). He will be working on my FRC unit shortly and is a very easy person to work with and he is quite knowledgeable.
The only Panasonic equipment I have owned has been since the Varicam came out, so I can’t speak as to how support for their other lines of gear is conducted, but the high end stuff seems to be getting excellent support.
Just my perspective.
The issue Jim is facing seems to be more of a design issue and not a support issue. For that learning Japanese might just be the right answer! 😉 -
Gary,
Last week I agreed with most of what you say. However, this is what started all this when I got the email…

I really would like to know what it would take for Varicam support, since it is already handling the DVCPRO HD format. I put in an email to Focus, but so far no response.

Tony,
I’m not sure what it will take to get this through to you, but this has nothing to do with Kona 2, the 130 or on set practices on 35mm shoots.
I applaud your professionalism and experience, but you really have been entirely useless and distracting. It is obvious that you did not read or perhaps comprehend the prevous posts. You continue to address tangentially related issues and do not address the main point even once. I’m tired of being dragged down these side roads due to a useless vanity I posted because of what I see as an unneccessary expense for media capture.
The only thing I want is to be able to capture to disk in the field in DVCPRO HD. Editing is a bonus. Playback is a bonus (well, a little more than that). You know, like the DV & HDV (soon) guys can do.
Name me the shortcoming with this aspiration.
