Canon unveils new material to be used in construction of bodies.

[MichaelSingleton]

Camera has announced today a new material to be used in the construction of all its camera bodies.

By using a complex process, Hydrogen DiOxide is used to create the material.

Images of a prototype, with it's developer, and a matching Hydrogen DiOxide 50mm f/1.8 can be seen here:

Enjoy. ;)

Mike.

That's dihydogen mono-oxide in its solid state. In it's liquid state it has been known to cause death.

[neil_r]

Do you have any data on its warm weather performance?

[Tee Why]

Hydrogen Dixoide implies two Oxygen molecules, water is H2O so a proper term maybe dihyroxide.

[cosworth]

Still has the stupid direct print button. Bah.

[canuck_newbie]

That's Hydrogen DiOxide in its solid state. In it's liquid state it has been known to cause death.

Mark

and in it's vapour form, is the cause of severe burns

[captainbk]

The proper IUPAC name is dihydrogen oxide

[kenh]

It is correctly termed dihydrogen monoxide, more at this web site http://www.dhmo.org/

i see you're not using a grip. do you feel it makes the camera too bulky?

[michaelgreen78]

I'm not sure about the colour. Does it come in black?

[cimager]

But does it come with a hand strap or just a neck strap?

[Stavhp]

Some people have WAY to much free time...

[shiato storm]

dihydrogen monoxide is one of the most dangerous chemicals actually. kills thousands every year

[SuzyView]

Yet gives life to all the world.

Any chance it has interchangeable lenses?

[Jeece]

I'm not sure about the colour. Does it come in black?

Nope! It just fits better with white lens this way. :D

What's the sensor size on that thing? Can you fit a computer hard drive in the memory slot?

[Lightstream]

I'm outraged.....no red ring?! They bother to make it all white n stuff and no red ring?!

And it still isn't weather sealed...

[tazzman270]

WOW A 42" LCD Display!

Some people have WAY to much free time...

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Glenn NK]

I'm not sure about the colour. Does it come in black?

Only in the spring when it turns to semi-liquid in the gutters.:D

[Jon, The Elder]

Speaking of Spring....If some of the above posters don't get out soon, they may end up wearing those canvas jackets with the wrap-around arms. The mind is the first to go.

[BDM]

Only in extremely polluted areas.
