"Now the only difference between a home movie and a Hollywood movie is the size of the sensor."

Er. . . . and the quality of the acting/directing/cinematography/script/composer/effects team?

(I was confused by the 'reply' button. That was meant as a reply to Ryan, below)

It's 10 days to announcement, not 10 days to product launch, or even 10 days to prototype demonstration (Jannard mentioned that he expected the whole thing to be labeled a 'scam' when they announced the details for Scarlet and Epic on the 13th).

The first time a prototype will be unveiled is supposed to be around NAB, so probably they don't have much that's photographable at this point.

"a problem we're usually too drowsy to consider at 2am in the morning."

Too bad the trains all stop running before 1.

The OP missed the part where the laptop only weighs around 1 kg with all that stuff in it. Not sure how thick it is, given the size of the USB and VGA ports in relation to the side of the machine, but it doesn't look like it could be much thinner than a 13" Macbook. How is it so light? no hard drive or battery?

So it probably will still have the rolling shutter effect (I think all CMOS sensors have that problem); but the effect will probably be miniscule in comparison to d90, since the red camera will be specifically designed to avoid those kinds of problems.

Not quite.

IANAL, but as I understand it, standard terms can be (and often are) trademarked within a specific context in which it is not already generally used, e.g., 'apple' in reference to computers, 'scarlet' for a line of TVs, or 'vista' for an operating system. If the term is already generally used in that context you probably won't be able to trademark it, or at least you'll have a hell of a time protecting your trademark. E.g., trying to trademark 'toilet paper' for a brand of toilet paper, trying to trademark 'laptop' for a portable computer, or trying to trademark 'blue-ray' for blue-ray optical discs. This is why Adobe, even though it has obvious promotional value, publicly disapproves of any use of the term 'photoshop' as a verb—they don't want to go the way of band-aid, aspirin, escalator, crock pot, etc.

I think you missed my point. Who uses both liters and miles? Miles-per-gallon and kilometers-per-liter I can understand, but miles-per-liter?

"miles per liter"? Who the hell measures things in miles per liter?

Anyways, isn't 15.5 miles per liter just shy of 60 miles per gallon? That's better than a Prius.

The question is: is there a way to control the color-changing so that you can use it to see if the build is broken?
