    I'm not sure about compression, but there is an X10 joke in here somewhere...

    Looking through the links I saw pleanty of images of the camera itself, but no actual images from the camera. Yes, yes, I know they're not going to put the +-1GB image on a site, but a largely scaled down and compressed sample for the gee-whiz factor would be nice.

    Actally, if you follow the link to megaprime from ARS, you'll find that the camera is called MegaCam, from the MegaPrime project...
