Patent: Canon Mount Replacement Camera System

[Canon Rumors]

<p>Canon patents a mount replacement camera system, which is likely related to the soon-to-be-released Cinema EOS C700 and an already available service for the Cinema EOS C300 Mark II. I’m not sure if there’s any reason for this on a DSLR.</p>

well, some would not mind an opportunity to use a few Nikon or Sony/Zeiss lenses on their Canon DSLRs. ;D

reading through the review it smells like the cini cameras.. of course the usual suspects on CW have gone off on a tangent on this being for DSLR's .. or mirrorless, but why would you have a service for this when most would use adapters?

I really can't imagine why this would be for DSLR's. its most likely for EF / PL lenses, right now its a major job to switch and align the mounts. presumably, some provision will be made for alignment.

I doubt if many would want to pay the additional cost that Canon would charge for the feature, and PL mount lenses are expensive in full frame versions.
