Canon Teasing a Mystery Camera?

Zeiss has it's fingers into Nikon now...
Never mind the rest. This just sounds fundamentally wrong. 😛

FD mount would be great, but it's too big for an endoscope - more likely to be 4/3 or M-mount...
Lordy, it's a good thing I'm reading this stuff, ahem, sitting down...

It would be great if it was a FF rangefinder,
but me thinks it is replacements for the 1D mark III and/or 50D.
Who wants to guess when Nikon would do a Nikon SP-D ?

My guess would be a digital video camera to compete with the flip cameras, perhaps with a built in projector, so you could shoot your video and play it back all in a small, relatively easy to use package.

as to canon changing lens mounts, I wouldn't put it past 'em. if they felt a change of lens mount or camera design in general would give them a leg up on nikon, they would do it in a heartbeat, especially since people seem to be going back to nikon in droves.
 
I guess they presented something - but something that was so far from being photo related that none of us have noticed. Maybe ground-breaking only in its impact on Swedish copy shops...

Ah, yes, it is! They have partnered up with Adobe to integrate PDF and Imagerunner bulk scanners more seamlessly: http://www.canon.se/About_Us/News/Solutions_Business_News/release_adobe.asp

As others have pointed out, Canon is a megabig optics corporation that also has a camera department...

What would that be? Swedish-only Canon copier paper?

I'm still hoping for that FF RF camera mentioned earlier. That accepts the FD and the LTM lenses I have plenty of.
 
the announcement had to do with Adobe PDF and Canon copiers. Something having to do with secure printing to Canon copiers.
 
I can read Swedish. The news is so fabulously boring I won't even consider to translate it. Suffice to say you're already on the right track.
