I remember hearing about another digital cinema prototype camera recently, it was German I think, and yellow. Maybe the "Egg"? I can't remember where I read about that and I didn't think to keep a link. If anyone knows anything about that too, let me know.

Always nice hearing from you. Please feel free to send me anything that may be of interest. It's Friday isn't it? Happy Friday!
