A couple of notes. One, they don't plan on having it in production until the END of next year, some 18 months away! A LOT is going to change between now and then. Second, is they claim it only uses SD cards, which don't hold much...512MB max right now, and I'm not sure how extensible they are. SD cards are also rather slow...2MB/second for write speed. For a 10M pixel image, at 24 bits/pixel (3 colors x 8 bits/color)...that's 30M bytes or 15 seconds for one raw image!
