Techy stuff again, I'm afraid: a couple of interesting new developments. Number one is a new HDSLR. the Canon 60D, same sensor and HD video quality as the 7D but cheaper, better audio, and a pivot screen (Canon's first for an SLR). Looks very good, hoping to get one soon.
Second is the Zoom H1, a small sub-£100 digital recorder. Plug a £30 tieclip microphone into it and you've got a much cheaper alternative to radio mics (sync up the soundtrack in the editing process). Also, because it doesn't have to be attached to your camera you can get seriously creative with sound design. Anybody see 'Sleep Furiously'? The sound design on that was really interesting, with individual sounds being isolated and highlighted in a non-naturalistic way that would be impossible with a microphone connected to a camera.
