Patent Fun
I like to lead with the following, I am the worst reader of patent language on planet earth.
I’ve been sent an email explaining this patent.
“The image pickup element vibrationproof circuit 172 cancels vibration of an image by moving the image pickup element 127″ and “Here, an image pickup element vibrationproof mechanism 171 connected to the image pickup element vibrationproof circuit 172 shifts and rotates the image pickup element 127 in the direction to cancel shakes of the image so as to prevent the resolution of the image from being lost as the image rolls.”
Is this in body stabilization that works together with in lens stabilization? The language of it seems to suggest so to me.
Also notice the GPS circuit, Digital TV Tuner and Wireless Communication Circuit.
What say you?

From NL
Over at NL they’ve been told to expect Canon to answer to demand with the upcoming lens announcements.
24-70 f/2.8L IS I predict is the most wanted lens to Canonites.
Or is it?

Not much, but something
I’ve been told a couple of things about the 60D by a decent source that surfaces every so often.
1) The sensor will be the 18mp CMOS sensor, not the 13.8mp sensor from a previous rumor.
2) There will be a new feature in the 60D that isn’t available anywhere else in the lineup. No word on what that is. GPS?
3) The camera is nearing it’s first production run and is in final testing right now.
Not much, but appreciated.

What’s around the corner?
If you check the latest Popular Photography Magazine, they make a reference to next months magazine showcasing a “great new dSLR”.
Canon? Sony? Nikon?
Quote
“If you found this magazine on the newsstand, you may have noticed a big change in our look. For the first time in many years, our newsstand cover is a portrait of a person, not a camera. Well, it was hard to resist a photo of Halle Berry to introduce this month’s special lighting features. The portrait cover is just an experiment. Next month, you’ll find a camera on the newsstand, because it’s also hard to resist a great new DSLR”
We’re getting close to some announcements in the photography world.
