I just noticed that Canon's new S100 digital compact camera, which is an update of the S95, has the long awaited Digic 5 processor. Whilst this camera might not be of great interest here I thought it would be of interest because as regards video in Canon DSLRs the Digic 5 has been long awaited and much referred to. The big question is whether it improves the aliasing and moire issues. The S100 is nevertheless a more capable video camera doing 1080 24p in H.264. I haven't had time to find out much about it. However others more experienced than me with video technical matters might be able find out more. The only thing I have so far found is that Canon claims it is 6x faster than the previous processor, which is the Digic 4.

It's interesting how no one commented this thread. It's clear that Sony didn't fix any of the moiré/aliasing problems ... so NEXT! I'm curious to see some video footage from those P&S cameras with the new image processor to see if they actually fixed something.
