What more could anyone want?
What more could anyone want?
If that product is real, I am definitely in the wrong line of work.
If that flies, then so also should salt shakers in the handles of forks.

It's the companies further down the list that would be willing to gamble more and thus release products that might be more "exciting." - James -

Dude, it's a camera. The exciting thing is (supposed to be) what you can do WITH it. It sounds like you are agreeing with my thread title then. Cool. Taylor

Nathan Can you repeat the question, please?  More info | Sep 12, 2011 08:25 | #50 Joke or not... this thread made me look up "canon innovation" and I found this on the European website. Examples of Specific Research & Development Activities in Progress Canon Over IP Canon develops technologies for information technology solutions in the 21st century under the concept banner of Canon Over IP (Internet Protocol). In the future, digital information and digital products not compatible with IP will be unable to achieve their full potential. As a pioneer of the Internet age, Canon is digitising and networking its product lines, after which the company will expand efforts to include services and solutions to link these products together. New concept in Digital Photography - Micro Bubble Jet Camera Canon is applying its energy-saving, compact-print Bubble Jet printing technologies, together with its camera expertise and a wealth of creativity to study an outputting process that would fit in the palm of the users hand. The idea is to put only the printer engine inside of a digital camera. Credit card-sized sheets of paper and Bubble Jet inks would be in a separate unit called an Ink Paper Pack. The Micro Bubble Jet Camera could well turn into a reality based on developing the ability to separate the main ink tank and the print head. This will ensure that only the appropriate amount of ink for a single photograph is sent to the printer at any given time. To take advantage of diverse new business opportunities that this camera would create, Canon is reinforcing its in-house development and production functions for key components and devices. This move will allow Canon to bring new business fields to the market before the competition. Extra Dimension in Displays Another innovative imaging device being developed by Canon is the Paper-Like Display, which provides the advantages of both paper media and displays. Developed based on electrophoretic phenomena, this display uses toner sealed between two sheets of plastic film and electrostatic absorption/ repulsion. The resulting display is as thin and flexible as a sheet of paper, yet provides high-quality images. A variety of potential applications exist for this groundbreaking technology. Investment to Increase ELTRAN SOI Wafer Production Capacity Canon invested approximately ¥2 billion (US$15.1million or ¬17.1million) in 2000 to expand its production of ELTRAN silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. The company has achieved a five-fold increase in wafer production - equivalent to 10,000 wafers per month - at its facility in Hiratsuka, Japan. ELTRAN SOI wafers feature a unique, three-layer construction, which makes it possible to produce semiconductors that consume less power than conventional silicon wafers. Among the original, high-level production technologies for these wafers is water-jet splitting, which allows Canon to re-use the seed wafer component, thereby significantly lowering costs. Next Generation Large Flat-Panel Displays In the multimedia age, demand is strong for large-screen displays that do not require the space of a conventional television set or PC monitor. Canon has been developing a technology known as the SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitterDisplay). In 1999, Canon started a collaborative agreement with Toshiba Corporation to develop a practical SED. Combining Canons prowess in SED technologies with Toshibas strong position in the market for displays, the two companies are working together to commercialise next generation large-screen displays. Highly Sensitive, Large-Area CMOS Sensor The highly sensitive, large-area CMOS sensor is compact and features extremely low power consumption, making it the ideal device for products such as cameras, scanners and facsimile machines. In 2000, the CMOS sensor was adopted in the EOS D30 digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, in which it makes possible ultra-high image quality and 3.25 million-pixel performance. Canon is planning to expand the use of this sensor in other imaging products. Okay, maybe the OP is right. Canon is kinda boring. I have no idea what the Canon-over-IP will offer based on that description. Maybe if you just say "over-IP" is just makes an ambiguous product sound sexy. Microbubble Jet Camera? Really? I'm not sure what new business opportunities this creates that a portable 4x6 printer cannot provide. Maybe I'm not creative, imaginative or entrepreneurial enough. A new flexible display type and more efficient wafer technology actually WOULD be pretty innovative. I'm kinda just yawning about larger displays and CMOS advancements in other imaging products. Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

So is Sony (translucent mirror?). I also find most companies with mirrorless cameras are pretty interesting as those products interest me. I find all cameras are interesting, i just comment for the thread, not about myself. Galleries:
