In a recent Canon patent, it is very clearly visible that Canon is working on a tilt-table viewfinder for their full-frame mirrorless camera, even camcorders. In general, once a patent surfaces on the web, it roughly takes one or two years to become a real product, specifically at least 2 years when we are talking about a Canon patent. So we have to wait for that. At the same time, it is also to be noted that not every patent becomes a real product, so you have to consider all these factors before jumping to any specific conclusion
This is not the first time someone is testing out or at least tried out a tilting viewfinder a few years back Panasonic Lumix GX 9 (Panasonic G9 Mark II Rumors) camera was one of the first compact mirrorless cameras to feature a tilting find after that Fuji also introduced a tilting viewfinder in their gfx series camera so undo not new in any way new and we have to wait to see in which model Canon introduces

[Identification number] 000001007
[Name] Canon Inc. - An object of the present invention is to suppress an increase in the size of an electronic device while securing a large rotation angle of a finder portion.
- Description of the Related Art
Conventionally, a viewfinder unit provided in an electronic device such as an imaging device is known. For example, in an electronic device having a viewfinder unit such as an electronic viewfinder, the viewfinder unit is arranged on the upper part of the back side of the electronic device body. The finder section of the finder unit can be slid out from the main body of the electronic device, and the finder section can be tilted and rotated upward from the pulled out state, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in shooting posture. Are known. - [0005]However, in Patent Document 1, since the distance between the contact position of the pair of leaf springs with respect to the base plate and the rotating shaft of the holder is long, the contact position moves so as to draw a large arc locus during rotation. . If the finder section rotates excessively, the plate spring section will come off the fixed plate, so there is a restriction on the rotation angle of the finder section. On the other hand, if an attempt is made to design the rotation angle to be large, it is necessary to enlarge the fixing plate, which leads to an increase in the size of the imaging apparatus main body.
- SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to suppress an increase in the size of an electronic device while securing a large rotation angle of a viewfinder.
