After a little research we have found that Canon is also working to implement image stabilization in its DSLRs. Earlier Canon had a policy against IBIS on DSLR but from a recent patent it’s look like their policy now changed. And now they are working to implement image stabilization system to DSLRs
For more details you can read these translated text coming straight out from Japanese patent.
Translated text from patent
An exchangeable lens device that is attachable to and detachable from an image capturing apparatus includes two types of lens devices, i.e., a lens device including an image stabilizing mechanism that corrects camera shake generated due to a user’s hand shake and a lens device not including the image stabilizing mechanism. The image stabilizing mechanism corrects the camera shake by moving an optical system. The lens device including the image stabilizing mechanism can correct camera shift-shake in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis (hereinafter, simply referred to as camera shift-shake), but cannot correct camera roll-shake in a direction of rotation about an axis in parallel with the optical axis (hereinafter, simply referred to as camera roll-shake).
To correct the camera roll-shake, an image sensor of the image capturing apparatus needs to be rotated. In this context, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-095467 discusses an image shake correction device having a rotational substrate, fixedly holding the image sensor, supported by a fixing portion via a rotation shaft. The image shake correction device discussed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-095467 requires a supporting mechanism for the rotation shaft for rotating the image sensor. The image shake correction device discussed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-095467 only focuses on correcting the camera roll-shake, and thus if the attached lens device does not include a shift-shake correcting mechanism, the camera shift-shake cannot be corrected with such a configuration

TNC Exclusive: Its has been seen that optical performance of lens is reduced with respect to change in temp. In general when lens is being used by photographers in direct sunlight for hours the temperature inside the lens is raised and which affects the overall optical performance of the lens. Latest patent suggest that Canon wants to improve the heat insulation coating over its high-end lenses to prevent overheating of lenses.
Canon to improve heat insulation of following lenses mentioned in the patent document
- Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM II
- Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Lens
- Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM Lens
- Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM
Patent Details (Translated from Japanese)
A possible to obtain a lens device change in optical performance is reduced relative to a temperature change in the ambient. In the lens apparatus having an optical system including an A positive lens Gp, the material of the positive lens Gp is set properly, the exterior member 7 of coupling mechanism which protects the holding member 6 and the holding member 6 for holding the positive lens Gp the set properly. .Field
The present invention relates to a lens holding mechanism in the lens unit and an imaging apparatus having the same.
Lens apparatus such as an interchangeable lens for use in a digital still camera is used in various environments. For example, when the lens device is used in high temperature environment, the temperature of the lens included in the lens unit is increased, the optical properties of the lens may change.
References 1, by disposing the heat insulating member between the light source and the lens unit, discloses an optical apparatus employing the heat that is not easily transmitted configuration from the light source to the lens barrel.

Canon is working on to improve the DSLR viewfinder by adding a extra layer Hybrid EVF over it. Adding a extra layer of Hybrid EVF will going to solve all the problems associated to the optical viewfinder in the current generation of DSLR camera.
Advantage of Having Hybrid Viewfinder in DSLR camera
- In general the DSLR viewfinder become dead while you are recording a video, because the mirror is flipped up and the DSLR sensor on work, so at that moment the optical viewfinder becomes inactive. One of the biggest advantage include Hybrid viewfinder, is that you can use it while you are creating video from your DSLR.
- Introduction of Global shutter in DSLRs, after adding hybrid EVF for DSLR maker it will become easy to go beyond 20FPS or even more than that while keeping your viewfinder active. Since, the flipping Mirror do have limited physical speed and once they reach physical limit it is not possible to use global shutter with optical viewfinder.

take a look at the DSLR viewfinder patent details
Patent Details – Canon Hybrid Viewfinder – Translated from google
The present invention relates to a camera viewfinder, and more particularly to a single-lens reflex camera having a function of both the electronic view finder optical viewfinder (OVF) (EVF)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems of an increased size, a complicated mechanism and the like of a camera employing a viewfinder device allowing switching between an optical viewfinder (OVF) and an electronic viewfinder (EVF).SOLUTION: A main mirror (4) that directs a subject image from a lens (2) to a viewfinder and performs reciprocating revolving movement between a subject observation position and an image pick-up position in which an image pick-up device (17) receives light of the subject image from the lens (2) is configured to have both a display function (6) to display, e.g., an image picked up by the image pick-up device (17) and a mirror function to direct the subject image to the viewfinder, thereby realizing: an OVF mode in which the subject image on a reticle (11) is observed with the viewfinder using the mirror function (5) of the main mirror (4); and an EVF mode in which the main mirror (4) is in an up state and a live view image of the subject is displayed by the display function (6) of the main mirror (4) and observed with the viewfinder.SELECTED DRAWING:

Recent Patent suggest that Canon is planning to introduce Mirrors inside the Canon EOS Cinema Series so, they can also add a optical viewfinder wrapped over the EVF. So, you can get both view at a time, larger mirrored OVF view as well as EVF view.
Understanding The Canon Hybrid EVF Patent
What is Canon actually trying to do, they want to give you more display area by adding a extra layer of optical viewfinder wrapped around corners of EVF. They won’t going to overlap each other, the Mirror will have a cut out around the sensor to cover up the left-over area of the sensor. So when you are looking through the viewfinder
From Mirrorless to SLT – EOS Lineup Journey
Canon latest patent suggest that they are working on a hybrid optical viewfinder for the Canon EOS cinema lineup. The Canon EOS cinema lineup is mirrorless, that is they don’t have mirror inside as of DSLR cameras. By the way despite of having no mirror inside their system the flange distance remains same (Canon EOS Cinema EF Mount Version ) so they can easily adapt the Canon EF Mount lenses without altering the focal length or loosing any feature.
By adding a Fixed Mirror for sure the EOS Cinema lineup will lose their Mirrorless status for sure. And eventually they will going to become a SLT camera with fixed Mirror inside.
 Flange distance isn’t a issue , since they are designed to use EF Mount / DSLR lenses. SLT system type mirror – fixed and non movable
Yes the mirror Canon will going to introduce is not a movable one as we have seen in the DSLR. The mirror inside a cinema EOS lineup will always going to remain fixed at a certain point, So the user can get uninterrupted view of what they are recording.
Image / Video Quality will remain unaffacted, Since the fixed Mirror isn’t covering up the sensor. So literally we will not going to see any change in the Video quality of the camera.
The Canon EOS in my lineup doesn’t actually need a hybrid viewfinder
But why Canon is trying to add a mirror inside the cinema EOS series. well I have seen professional cinematographers those who never look through the viewfinder while creating a movie or short film, they always prefer external display in their work.

technically it doesn’t have any advantage, do share your thoughts and suggestion with us.

Canon working on computational photography. We can see in the patent image camera just similar to the light field l16 camera, with multiple camera modules on it.
So it’s completely new concept for a company like Canon, to enter into computational photography. BTW, all major Smartphone manufacturers using dual or even Quad camera setup to create depth of field like DSLR.
We have already seen Light field L16 camera with multiple camera module, that perfectly generates depth of field like Pro lenses.
 Light L16 is first Light Filed or Computational Photography Camera. But it’s availability is limited to US only. We also have to keep in our mind that it’s not always necessary something that we see as a patent will it make it into production.
The patent was published on Nov of 2012. So, is also possible that Canon may have some working prototype of Light field camera in its lab.
