There were several at NAB 2008. We picked A-B for small size so the newsies 
are less likely to smash it. We use DSR 400 300 series cameras with A-B 
converter plates and 4 hr bricks. We will move to 720P solid state memory cameras 
later this year after we decide between the major brands as part of a major news 
expansion.  We had short life (shoot time) with the Sony Lithion.  The newsies 
managed to break the internal battery welds by dropping the A-B bricks a 
couple times. I keep telling them their next cameras will be from Fisher Price. 
The Ultra Light II units are shambles with regular socket failures, wire shorts, 
lost pieces.
