Patent Fun
I must say reading Canon patents makes my brain feel good. What's especially awesome about Canon and patents is they have about 50 a week!

Here's one good enough for Ashton Kutcher.

Touchscreen DSLR!

Features (Snippet from Photography Bay)
Two simple and important adjustments that can be modified via the touchscreen are mentioned in the patent:

1. Sliding you finger across the panel in a vertical direction changes aperture values.

  1. The only place I could see myself finding this useful is for reviewing shots; scrolling around using the joystick can be pain in the ass sometimes.

  2. Sohn Jwan (the real one) on

    I wish that instead on wasting money on this stupid thing Canon invested their money to better their Quality Control… now cameras have to be like a friggin Iphone???’ are you kidding me??

    I bet most of the people loving this are those that have a collection of gadgets and stuff… MEH Canon has lost touch with reality and it is listening to the wrong people.

  3. When it is cold outside, I can’t answer my phone unless I use my nose or take my gloves off.

    Now I won’t be able to change the settings on my camera either. BUMMER!

    Give me buttons! I love my phone, but give me buttons!
