Hmm...no doubt they had *something* working, but I wonder if that something
was a fully self-contained, full-frame device that fits into an unmodified
camera? For what it's worth, I have a 1.5 megapixel camera, and find it
nice, but so far, have not seen results that really got me excited. I will
take the thing with me on one of my outings and see what it can *really* do,
side-by-side with my film cameras.
