After years of research and development, Canon today introduced a product intended not only to impact the presentation and multimedia industry but also to contribute to advances in projection technology. The Realis SX50 is a revolutionary new multimedia projector with 1400 x 1050 (SXGA+) resolution utilizing Canon's patented AISYS (LCoS) technology, which delivers high brightness and high contrast in a compact size business projector. It also includes 2:3 pulldown - so perhaps we'll see some migration into home theater units by the Canon brand in the future.</FONT></P>

Wow, that's impressive, I hope they start using that tech in their home line and go the extra mile and provide 1920x1080 support... Does anyone know the distinct difference that AISYS makes over "conventional" LCoS? I suppose pricing hasn't been announced either.

Cool stuff!
