I think the Sony has a nice idea but for that price I want interchangeable lenses and a viewfinder. Hence my original statement "Camera not for me".

I bought a DROBO 4 drive unit and a DroboShare (to make it networkable) early this year to test but have been disappointed with it. Maybe I need to get newer model. My Buffalo TeraStations are getting long in the tooth now and only provide 2TB of data storage each (I have 4). The Drobo should have allowed me 4TB per unit which would have been a good start.

Some of the Promise drives look nice if a bit pricy. http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA017VC/A/promise-pegasus-r6-18tb-6-by-3tb-raid-system

Yes very pricey and very nice but also limited to Thunderbolt interface. Happy to use Thunderbolt unit as long as I can get it to interface either to the network and/or my USB/firewire ports on the older Macs. I still havent managed to source a Thunderbolt to USB/Firewire adapter. Apple were meant to do one but it seems to have been dropped. Seagate do one but it seems to be for their drives interfacing to Apple laptop. This is what I would really like. Price is steep at $400. Not available until early 2013. http://www.belkin.com/us/thunderbolt

Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 still seems to be available on Apple.com.au Or did you mean something else?

Unless you are using an Apple TB screen that restricts you to one monitor. :-( If you run an Apple TB screen I think it includes at least one Firewire socket and USB and a second TB socket to daisy-chain further TB devices. It all comes back to a bowl of spaghetti or a rat's nest of wires. Which is not conducive to reliable operation. Nothing like having internal drives, which with the Mac Pro are so easy to swap out. I still like my Mac mini's. Although if I had say £8,000 burning a hole in my pocket I would go with two big screens and a high spec Mac Pro.

With £8000 burning a hole in my pocket I would get myself a pilots license for light aircraft or helicopter.

I was assuming that (and a lot of other things) was before the £8,000 for the Mac. My Mac minis are fine, esp. the i7. It will get a testing later in the week, I will have video to edit.

I might go take a trip to the Apple Store in the new year and see what these Promise units are.
