Canon has patented the design of a digital "SLR", equipped with a fuel cell. Until now, even the patents and rumors about the issue of cameras with this kind of change were no familiar batteries. Prototypes of phones, laptops,
UMPC - please. But with Canon cameras it seems like the first one.
According to rumors, one of the leaders in the development of
new batteries , the company
MTI , has been cooperating with a manufacturer of digital cameras for a long time. Canon's statement on a fuel cell reflex lens confirms this unofficial information.
It is clear that before the advent of working samples (and even more so that the cells with fuel cells have entered the market) are still far away. But, apparently, Canon simply insured, having patented a promising development direction. Now the company has the full right to produce its own "fuel" cameras. Yes, and trade licenses.
