  Back in the corner of the Sharp booth at the last S.F. MacWorld, they had a 
guy who was showing a post-production JX100.  The unit did the color passes
itself without any manual filter changing.  When I tried it, however, the
color quality was not very good.  The guy indicated, however, that they didnt
do proper palette optimizing in software and it should be fixed in the release.
Anybody know if they did?
