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
Canon Tilting Viewfinder details
- [Public number] P2023104712
- [Release date] 2023-07-28
- [Title of the invention] Viewfinder unit, imaging device
- [Application date] 2022-01-18
- [Applicant]
[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.

We have just spotted a Sony entry-level Mirrorless camera. The camera surfaced from Sony patent files. The camera shows Sony’s new Menu system at work (We all know that even the ZV-E10 uses the old menu system) and a built-in compact flash unit like the Sony A5100 without any hot-shoe on top.
Since the camera lacks a hot-shoe mount we are expecting it to be an entry-level camera for beginners, will be placed below the Sony ZV-E10 camera, and be more affordable too.
Very Large Handgrip design with infrared sensor – It’s really surprising to see such a large handgrip design in Sony
Now let’s have a look at the Display and control area of the camera, you can clearly notice a vari-angle display with Sony new menu system.
Nikon Z30 Competitor?
We already have Nikon Z30 in the market as Nikon’s affordable entry-level Mirrorless camera and Canon is planning Canon R100 (Spec Leaked). Sony may heat up the entire competition by adding more affordable solutions to the market.

Recent patents surfaced over the web that shows Canon R&D still going on DSLRs body? Well, we all know that Canon is on DSLR cannibalization mode since 2018 and multiple times their rep. told the press that R&D is now halted for DSLRs and now focus is only on Mirrorless.
1. Canon Heat Sink Unit for DSLRs
The recent patent shows Canon is working to improve the Heat Sink of DSLRs, although the patent isn’t new and similar kind of patent we have published back in 2017.
Patent Details
To suppress the deterioration of the image quality of an image output to an external device while reducing the temperature inside a device.SOLUTION: An imaging device includes output means that outputs an image obtained by imaging means to an external device, processing means that can execute the operation by switching first operation in which the processing at the time of shooting the image is reduced as compared with the shooting during the shooting standby, or second operation in which the processing at the time of shooting the image is the same regardless of whether the image is waiting for shooting or during shooting, and control means that allows the processing means to execute the first operation when the output means does not output the image to the external device, and prohibits the processing means from executing the first operation when the output means outputs the image to the external device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

2. User Define Silent Mode and AI Silent Mode in DSLRs
Canon is working to reduce the Lens AF and shutter Mechanical sound ( optional electronic shutter ) in Professional DSLR bodies in some specific situations and modes. A dedicated silent mode for photographers and when the camera detects animals in the frame it switches off shutter noise Automatically with the help of AI deep learning programs.
The present invention relates to an image pickup control device such as a digital camera.
When shooting with an imaging control device such as a digital camera, a shutter sound and a lens driving sound are generated. The loudness of the generated sound changes depending on the settings such as the shutter method of the imaging control device, but the setting for suppressing the generation of sound is not always suitable for the shooting situation in terms of the shooting function. Therefore, depending on the situation, the setting that suppresses the generation of sound and the setting that prioritizes the shooting function are switched, but when the situation changes frequently, it takes an operation turn to switch the setting, and there is a shooting opportunity. There was a scene where I missed.
Conventionally, a device has been proposed in which an imaging control device determines that sound generation should be suppressed when a subject such as an animal is mainly detected, and automatically switches to a setting for suppressing sound or light generation

We saw Nikon Z5, the most affordable full-frame camera by Nikon. But, the recent patent design leaks show Nikon’s compact Mirrorless body with a full-frame sensor, very little manual control, and without a viewfinder to save the manufacturing cost.
As you can see the camera has very little control, a display on top, and no viewfinder.
In general, a patent takes two to three years of time to become a real product. Say tuned, we will post more updates soon.

Tamron working on a new lens 16-70mm F4 Lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Most probably they will announce it first for Sony Mirrorless cameras since Sony shares their E-Mount details with third-party lens makers and they don’t have to do reverse engineering as with Nikon and Canon systems. Later one we may see RXD and other series of Lenses for Canon and Nikon system cameras once they are able to successfully decode new RF and Z Mount AF Algo.
