You're quite right about the link. It had already been posted numerous times so I thought everyone was aware of it. Also, you can navigate there from the Leica home page. I think if you can play either Windows or Realplayer streaming media, you should be able to play the news conference. On my G4 running OSX, it "just worked". > >>And no, there is no anti-aliasing filter. > > > I was talking in general.

In the press conference. Imacon says they can do it in software and you will be able to turn the moire filter on or off on a shot by shot basis as needed. BTW, one thing that hasn't been noted is that Imacon has a reputation for producing excellent software. > >>Sheesh. > > > Sheesh, WHAT, Rolfe?

It's just that questions and uninformed answers were being batted around when the answers are sitting right there on the Leica site. No offense intended -- this is the LUG, after all :-).
