squiggleslash, actually I wasn't very clear on that, I was more thinking of data rate than capacity, 20 mega pixels at say 30FPS, even if your only doing 8 bit bayer type sensor, that is about 4.8 Gbits/s off the sensor into RAM prior to compressing... AVCHD (max of about 25Mbits/s) being what it is is fine for use on SDHC cards but for larger formats you'd need either some pretty remarkable compression to be invented, or to use the oversized heat sink as your RF antenna :-)
Optically, they could do something along the lines of a micro lens array/light field capture and do some computational photography (on camera) - thus doing away with a focusing system - I guess that will be in the next marketing powerpoint...
Oh ok, I thought you were talking about the user storage system, not the bus-to-RAM part. That said, presumably regular HD camcorders have the same issue and have solved it too, is there any reason why their approach wouldn't work here too?
You may be right, but your numbers are off by a factor of 10. 1080p is 1920x1080, making for just over 2 megapixels. Just because it's max resolution of still images is 20 megapixels doesn't means it shoots video at the resolution. My 6 megapixel Canon elph captures video at just 640x400 resolution. Probably for the very reason you mention.
