M and Betacam were shown at 1981 NAB simultaneously, but M was production-ready, while Betacam still was a work in progress. M had about half a year lead time. It just was not as good as Betacam.

Do not discount amateurs, they have a desire to learn, show and tell. Also, many of them are quite knowledgeable. Dave
12voltvids is a former video engineer, so not an amateur. But Colin (
video99.co.uk) did not work in the industry, AFAIK, but I don't know for sure. Also this Vietnamese guy is very good:
