    Patent Fun
    I must say reading Canon patents makes my brain feel good. What's especially awesome about Canon and patents is they have about 50 a week!

    Here's one good enough for Ashton Kutcher.

    Touchscreen DSLR!

    730580762 wZBms M 300x208 - Touchscreen DSLR Patent
    "That feels good!"

    Features (Snippet from Photography Bay)
    Two simple and important adjustments that can be modified via the touchscreen are mentioned in the patent:

    1. Sliding you finger across the panel in a vertical direction changes aperture values.

    2. Sliding your finger across the panel in a horizontal direction changes shutter speed.

    Other features contemplated by the patent that may be enabled by touch entry through the LCD include the following settings:

    * Focus detection area
    * Exposure correction value
    * Flash adjustment correction value
    * Photometry mode (i.e., metering mode)
    * Drive mode
    * ISO value
    * Auto focus mode
    * White balance mode
    * Exposure correction value

      The only place I could see myself finding this useful is for reviewing shots; scrolling around using the joystick can be pain in the ass sometimes.

      I wish that instead on wasting money on this stupid thing Canon invested their money to better their Quality Control… now cameras have to be like a friggin Iphone???’ are you kidding me??

      I bet most of the people loving this are those that have a collection of gadgets and stuff… MEH Canon has lost touch with reality and it is listening to the wrong people.

      When it is cold outside, I can’t answer my phone unless I use my nose or take my gloves off.

      Now I won’t be able to change the settings on my camera either. BUMMER!

      Give me buttons! I love my phone, but give me buttons!
