I noticed that this is not the first time you mention the topic. Why have you decided to touch it again?

Jog wheel would be brilliant.

Canon definitely own the competition in this regard. It’s a fantasticly useful tool.

Most modern camcorders have an articulating screen. You know, the LCD panel that flips out and twists around. You can also flip them back with the screen facing the camera body, so the screen is easy to protect.

You mean the camera that it is rumoured will be announced next week and that may not actually exist? Probably by June.

Swivel screen like on the older Canon Powershot G1-G5. A good feature, and very versitile, would like one on a Canon, but won’t switch to another if they have one…

Because the power (product of volts and amperage) contained within a Camera battery is much, much higher than a cell phone. USB has a very limited ability to give charge to the device it is connected to, and USB cables have significantly high internal resistances than do traditional cables that connect chargers like the LP-E4 to a wall outlet, of course even less resistance is there if the charger simply plugs directly into the wall outlet, like the chargers for the NB -2LH, BP-511(A), and LP-E6, etc… Due to the higher internal resistance of running the power to charge a battery through a USB, assuming that USB has enough voltage potential to charge a Camera Battery at all, (I very very seriously doubt it is capable of feeding the LP-E4 the 11.1 volts it needs) It would take several times the amount of time to charge as a conventional charge would. The average customer is not going to have a problem with a dedicated charger, but might if they attach it via USB to their computer, and the battery drains the power out of that port and its partner, making it unusable (2 USB’s share an attachment to the motherboard) and taking 12 hours to charge. What’s more, since the USB and computer have so much internal resistance the amount of wasted power would be quite high considering the size of the application, and thus be worse for the environment. I understand the environmental concerns of leaving charger plugged directly into the wall at all times, as that consumes power without accomplishing anything. For this reason, and the reason of safety, I keep my chargers plugged into a power strip and turn it off when I’m not using it and I encourage others to do the same. USB is not a viable solution for charging SLR camera batteries.

I don’t need an 3″ LCD on a 500D if it’s as small as the 450D. A signal to noise ratio like the 50D is much more importand. A second drive for the shutter would be fine to have a real silent mode in conjunction with live view.

Please reuse the Battery-Pack of the 450D or 5Dmkii _and_ let us fill the pack via USB. Why the litium cell has no USB connection to get the power? The European Community is strong asking cell phone manufacturers to migrate to a standard power connection for charging the battary pack with a deadline of 2011 or so. Canon, Nikon and he others should join as well. This would be fine for the environment and convenient for the customers.

Jog Wheel on a xxxD? Maybe with a larger body? A “half stop” between the xxxD/xxxxD and the xxD series? Yummy…
