  For sure ... but I hadn't heard anything about ^any^ Dcam purposefully
squashing it own sensor's gamut just for "looking good on the monitor".
However, I suppose they did exactly that (for their consumer Dcams).  It is
some consolation to realize (thanx Paul) other Dcams can deliver RGB to a
larger gamut.  (Paul, which PS working space is your Minolta's gamut
compareable to?)

cheerios ... shAf  :o)
