A Canon Concept
This is a concept camera from Canon. The idea behind it is one camera, one lens, do everything. It could go from Macro all the way to 500mm and still be fast. Looks like a interesting concept, to read more about it click here.

All-Terrain Mobile Workstation!
What do you get when you cross a souped-up photography workstation with the Mars rover? The DR8, an off-roading digital hub designed to bring the comforts of the home studio to the trickiest of terrains. “The DR8 is a great machine to convert tough location shoots into luxury indoor shoots,” said Aladdin Ishmael, CEO of AI Digital Imagination and creator of the device.
The 500-pound DR8 is built inside a power converter that can run an Apple MacPro workstation along with twin 30-inch monitors. The device is made of solid steel and sports rubberized tank treads to move it over sand or snow. Balanced to remain upright even on rocky terrain, the DR8 can rotate on its axis and has a foot stand on the side of the machine if a human wants to go along for the ride. There’s also a front shelf for carrying a generator, if needed, for a shoot.
“We took it to Tahoe, CA in the snow, and the beaches in Malibu,” Ishmael told PDN Gear Guide. “I have been using the DR8 for about three years already. Clients we work with this machine are: Kohls, Target, Fredricks of Hollywood, Spin Magazine, TNT TV, and Cosmo. When we get it to any location, no matter how interesting the talent is, the conversation always end up about this machine.” To read more on this article click here.
Rayqual adapters bring Leica, Nikon, and Canon lenses to Sony’s NEX cameras
Sony’s new NEX-3 and NEX-5 cameras may have a few limitations when it comes to their UI, but it looks like they won’t be hurting for lens options — Japan’s Rayqual has announced that it’ll be offering a series of lens adapters for the cameras starting next month. Those will let you attach any number of Leica, Nikon or Canon lenses to the compact shooter, although you’ll expectedly have to make do without autofocus if you decide to venture beyond Sony’s own lenses for the cameras. They also won’t come cheap, with the adapters set to run ¥19,950 to ¥25,200, or roughly $220 to $275 — although that could be a small price to pay if you’ve already invested in some serious glass.
Possible Canon 3D Camera ?
This is a image of a canon 3D camera. The idea being you put all the peaces in the above picture to make one camera. 3D has blown up in the last year I think every movie that has come out has also been show in 3D. Most Canon cameras shoot in high hd formats so if Canon is in fact developing a camera like this then thats just awsome.
