You've got to admit these people have guts. Where I live, our coffee shops are littered with film directors and camera men who have been displaced by the digital age. At the risk of mixing allegories, companies like Media 100 and Avid should wake up and smell the coffee in Brazil.
I remember seeing my first SP Betacam back in the mid 80s. Tthey cost $100,000+ and Media 100 units were 3 times the price. True broadcast quality for cameras is now entry-level at around $700 but Media 100 still clings to this field of dreams mentality. Even Final Cut Express will do the job that Media 100 does and at a fraction of the cost.
If I were these people, I'd bend with the wind and release this for its true value - in the vicinity of $85 to $120.
Just because I bought a Mercededs for $60K 20 years ago doesn't mean that it's worth that today, Sounds like a last desperate dash for cash from a company that's in the process of folding IMHO.

Sorry, don't get it. I had several M100's (P6000) in the past, and maybe back in 1995 it still made SOME sense to invest in one, but TODAY? Sorry, but the only reason I ever even considered using the unintuitive, incapable software was because I HAD TO, since there was no other way to use the hardware. But if that hadn't been the case, then I would have chucked the CRAP software on day one. Looking at packages such as Final Cut (even Express!) or even Premiere, I see ZERO reason why I should actually PAY for anything Media100 has left to offer. Same goes for AVID by the way. Makes NO economical, practical or even technical sense! I work in a Studio with FIFTEEN FCP and TWO AVID suite's (the M100's are LONG gone, fortunately)... gee, guess which of those take FAR more time and money to keep running smoothly, let alone to get to work decently with other programs that one needs for one's professional workflow nowadays??
Obviously: the AVIDs!
P2 support?? Works with AJA Products?? Oh geeeee... already??! That only makes them about two+ years late! That should get them up to speed by, what? 2024? Too bad they have celebrated their 12th or so bankruptcy by then, one of which will finally be terminal. Or maybe AVID will by them. To hold hands as they go down together... :-D

I appreciate : easy and immediate use, excellent professionnal resulting work, input versatility, integrated hardware out of the box. Neutral : price. Poor : support / documentation, and they could update the look of their interface.
