That sounds bad news ben, i was just about to order one but will now re think and maybe buy the new Blackmagic box and do without the laptop location ability of the AJA box.
Still AJA must be happy to lose sales in the UK with that sort of silly pricing.

On the other hand we should all make more money !
Colour grading takes TIME a grading session could be an EXTRA day on the post budget so that is more billable $ hours so you need to sell the benefits of grading to clients who thought they could not afford it.
However the problem with the post business is that it has become commoditised which means you loose pricing power, from a business point of view it has little creativity as you hit a market resistance in how much you can charge no matter how good you are or what kit you buy.
I did a mind set change away from being a hired editor to being an ‘Investor in creative projects’ ie you need some ownership in the content you edit , ie we moved away from being an edit business to being a production business, still not easy but you have less limits on earnings and you can apply more business creativity to bring in more money, oh and you still get to Edit .
Oh and spare a thought for the guys at Avid their business model must surely be broken

Since you bought your FCP 5 system for $8000 in late January my system has earnt me over$20,000 in the same time period so if you cannot afford $500 upgrade you perhaps do not need it for now.

I think anyone who is realy disappointed needs to consider their future in the post production business as there will be people who can produce fantastic creative work with those tools and at far cheaper rates than if working on the old ‘high end kit’ and not moan about it.
