The Canon LCOS (which actually uses JVC's DILA panels) has been announced in the U.S.
This is a really good deal. SXGA+ (1400x1050), 1000:1, 2500 lumens!, lens is about a 1.2-1.8 (a very versatile throw range). All for $4000. For comparison, these specs are pretty close the SX21 except this thing is almost twice as bright, is HDCP compliant, and is half the size and half or less the price. Oh, and it's supposedly pretty quiet. Contrast is not world class, but if that's not your highest priority, this thing is great in every other respect.
Have to wait until a tweaker or Mr. Phelps gets his hands on one to see what it really will do, but it looks like a pretty good candidate if you've always lusted after DILA, brightness and low price all in one package (me!).
