We have a feeling the photo community won’t be exactly thrilled about
this but here it goes. Canon has just filled a patent for a touchscreen
DSLR that would allow changing the aperture and the shutter speed by
finger sweeps across the screen.
There are many other features described in the patent that would also
be touch controlled such as metering, exposure compensation etc. but
there is no saying of the exact nature of the gestures that would be
used.
Now we are pretty certain that the Sony touch-driven T-series ultra
compact cameras go perfectly well with a touchscreen, but a DSLR? Hm, we
somehow cannot see it as the future of DSLR photography. Then again it
might be just us getting old.
How about you? Any takes of a touchscreen-enabled Canon EOS 1Ds Mark IV?
