The most interesting thing isn't the number of pixels in this prosumer-grade camera, but its 4-color filter CCD system. ['Instead of the traditional RGB color filter array, the new CFA is made up of Red, Green, Blue and Emerald (like Cyan) color filters.'] I've always been a strict Canon fan, but this is making me think twice."

Emerald (like Cyan)

Isn't cyan blue? Reminds me of an old sketch by the Frantics:

"I remember her eyes over the yawning abyss of a week and a half. I remember their brown glow lighting the room like a shock of azure sky...

Azure...

Blue. Right. They were blue. Blue as ocean water, in its deepest emerald hues....

Emerald.... Green.

Right. They were... they were green, kind of a greeny-blue... Sort of aquamarine, with browninsh flecks.....

OK, I remember her tits.
