You know, the real high-end stuff. But software? I can either visit a local NLE re-seller to learn more or, heck, just play with it at the Apple store. Yes, you learn a little more at NAB, but the difference between the Apple store and NAB is very slight. The difference between seeing a RED camera in person and not seeing it is huge. So I still think NAB is very important, but I can easily see why Apple and Avid decided that it wasn't worth the money to be there.
