Hi Peter,

Well, perhaps the sensor they used has very shallow well depth...and it's
not as much of an issue?  I don't know, but it certainly has been an issue
in the past...  I can't wait to see what this camera really does!  It's
getting close...just a few more M pixels, and I may bite at one of these
35mmesque digicams ;-)

Regards,

Austin
