For all what *we* (that is, general public) know, yes, you are correct. My
statement was meant to be in the context of original question but really
wasn't phrased like that. In this context I think the camera manufactures,
if they implemented on-camera PGP, they would still not want to sacrifice
speed over security. Given limited processing power of the camera that would
mean less CPU intensive algorithms and more importantly, shorter keys.
