More Patent Fun
A couple of New Patents filed by Canon this month.
Just remember, not all patents make it to market.
The first patent found is for what appears to be sensor based stabilization. Could this be for a powershot, and SLR or perhaps a new EVIL camera system?
US Patent: 20100003025
LCD in Viewfinder
This one adds a small LCD in the viewfinder. You can keep the camera up to your eye and see through the viewfinder while reviewing previous images taken.
US Patent: 20100002109

Noooo! I just left Canon because I wanted to use a sensor based image stabilisation system with fast primes! Now that I am with Sony, don’t tell me that Canon will have in-body is now!!!
^^ if I leave Canon one day, it will be for Nikon, but never for sony or others brand, espcially because of few lenses choice
…but the list does not include in-body image stabilisation, the topic of the original post. Neither Canon nor Nikon have led the way there.
Yes please.. yes.. just do it!. xD
I love the idea, I would like in-body IS.
but canon is leading Nikon, the only other major SLR player in the current market. Thats good enough for me!
Noting new it seems. In-Camera Stabilisation in DSLR’s is also not new. In 2004 Konica-Minolta released the 7D with in-camera stabilisation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konica_Minolta_Maxxum_7D
