I’d reframe that as “consistent”, but both are virtues, of a kind. Unlike condescension.
Originally posted by RGlasel Patents (or applications for patents) that have already celebrated a couple of birthdays don't excite me too much. Ground-breaking technological advances in higher end digital cameras are a major selling point, there is no point in a manufacturer parking a patent if its technology is close to being ready for commercialization. It isn't as if the manufacturer can't start marketing a product because the patent hasn't been approved Patents for hybrid viewfinders have been filed to protect research that hasn't produced a practical system yet, just in case another manufacturer figures out how to produce a practical system. Sorry.
Well, if you think I’m hopeful of a next KP having this technology, let’s just say that I’d be surprised if it happened this year. No. My remark was simply that, if enough people accept the aesthetics of the overlay nose, then it wouldn’t discourage the designers from finding a way to incorporate the bulk of the patented EVF projection optics into a similar arrangement, should they decide the technology is affordable and useful.
OK. I was teasing, a bit.
