Patent: Canon RAW Video

[Edwin Herdman]

Surely it would have made sense to hold off on the C300 so they could build in this new RAW video capabilities so you can output 4k video. oh well, C300 II will be around the corner I guess, Canon are turning into Apple!

Just on the face of it, this 4K RAW stuff would require much more throughput and probably much more memory capacity than the C300 is likely to offer.

It's interesting that it's Canon filing this patent and not the other guys (well, making a small assumption there). Further evidence Canon is listening to what people have asked for and moving to get on top in the video space.

The patent was submitted in July 2010 8) So hopefully we'll see this implemented in a DSLR this year.
