Canon Says No to Retro Design for Them

[lightthief]

Hello forum,

i'm a long time reader and until today, i thought i have nothing important or meaningful to post ... but now...

I do not like retro. And so it is difficult for me to understand why other people like retro. But to all who love the retro style, i can say, i think Canon will surprise you with the most old fashioned EOS you can imagine.

Have a nice day!

"Canon has kept its distance from this trend. As a result, the design is not pretentious"

This sentence gave me the warm fuzzies. Canon is exactly the company I want them to be.

For me, the most beautiful thing in the world is something that makes absolutely no compromises on function or form, where the two complement each other and the aesthetic and function are integral parts of each other. When something has an appealing look, and that look is entirely derived from its function.

If I want a "Retro" Canon SLR, I would just get some tape, write CLASSIC on it and stick it onto my 7D, done.
