Canon files fuel cell dSLR patent

Posted on Saturday, August 16 2008 @ 3:30 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Photography Bay discovered Canon has filed a patent application for a digital SLR camera that's powered by a fuel cell.

As you may recall, Photography Bay previously reported on Canon’s efforts to patent a method for using fuel cells to power your DSLR. A newly published patent application (US 2008/0180565) sheds a little more light on things to come with fuel cell powered DSLRs.

Canon continues to push its fuel cell development by devising a method for powering not only the internal DSLR body electronics, but also external components such as lenses and hotshoe flashes.
