Now here is a good product idea: Clean your sensor squeaky clean with the sensor-cleaning mouse.
Sounds good to me. ;D

Actually it is PeterJ's idea. Look up http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=10488.msg188089#msg188089AmbientLight said:Now here is a good product idea: Clean your sensor squeaky clean with the sensor-cleaning mouse.

dreidesq said:As this is a rumour site. I've just heard that the rumoured Canon 3DX is actually going to be called a 0DX which tops the 1DX.
It's going to be a 100mp "ultra" medium format camera, it's going to have 32 bits of colour rendition and a full 24 steps of dynamic range. It will fit FD, EF and EFs, Nikon, Sony, Leica and Hasselblad lenses and will have 292 areas of AF focus points.
It will have thunderbolt, Firewire 800 and USB3/4/5 built in for future compatibility.
It will also have GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi built in and will have the ability to make phone calls. It will even call you when the battery gets below 10% and recharge itself with gravity induction from the moon at night.
The price point of this little 5oz marvel will be £1000 with a £300 rebate from any Comet store. You'll get a free cinema ticket to the new Disney Star Wars movie too. Coming in December 2012-2022ish.
Sounds like a bargain to me.

No, I think he felt cheated that there were no rumors about themcrasher8 said:What? Not satisfied with lens caps?

Just like Paul Revere..."The Megapixels are coming!" ;Ddreidesq said:Yep the mega pixel camera is just around the corner. Tomorrow in fact!
They built it specifically for the new lens cap. LOL.
Gotta love Canon, they've got their priorities right.
Take one look at ebay, craigslist, gumtree or most classified ads.
What cameras are being sold? Canons and Canon lenses. I wonder why? Nikon started something.
Never been a better time to buy Canon gear secondhand.
But when? You should be posting this message just as the shipments are nearing the port...thexfile said:Just like Paul Revere..."The Megapixels are coming!" ;Ddreidesq said:Yep the mega pixel camera is just around the corner. Tomorrow in fact!

I am not sure. Leica needs better sensor too...AmbientLight said:tron said:I believe they postpone progress as much as they can to milk as much money as possible (Just my opinion, I cannot have proof of course).
Mmmh, I don't think milking customers to hold back on technology is such a big issue here. In other industries I see this as a valid strategy, but not in our current camera market. There is just not enough pressure on R&D to make bigger leaps. That's all.
We can thank Canon, Sony and Nikon for their competition, because this is what primarily drives this market forward. It would actually be dreadful for Canon or one of the others to provide a camera, which is so good, that nobody would want to upgrade in the next decades. Just look at Leica as an example on how to do things wrong.

Yes, it is, AFAIK. They are actually owned by Danaher, a conglomerate that is in the business of buying other companies, and divesting them if they become unprofitable.
AmbientLight said:tron said:I am not sure. Leica needs better sensor too...
Actually my point with Leica was not the sensor, but falling behind in camera sales due to ignoring the competition at a time, when the company felt technologically superior. This happened at the time of the Leica M3, when Nikon came out with the Nikon F and Canon also began producing SLR cameras. Leica was so late to the SLR market that they never gained significant market share.
My point is that if a company has little or only partial market share, then it will thrive to gain market share, no matter how. This will likely bring out the best, but this won't happen in case a company is too self-satisfied.
