The movie mode must be at higher resolution than HD, as in it needs to use the whole sensor. The only problem is that RAW footage at 14bit X 20 Million Pixels x 24 f/s x 1 byte/8 bits = 840 000 000 bytes/s = 50 400 000 000 bytes/minute = 3 024 000 000 000 bytes/hour = 3 TERABYTES/HOUR So it would have to be compressed, and then again, why would you want all that detail anyway PS: in 10 years, 20 MP movies will probably be common place (movie cinemas use 4K (horizontal = 4000 pixels) which is 6 MP) Ok, i think this is a great idea, except for one thing.
