Canon Displays Concept Cameras At Expo

This year’s New York City expo was hosted by electronic major Canon, and the major Camera manufacturer not only hosted the New York City expo but also displayed some of its concept cameras, features and prototypes.

The New York City Expo is organized every five years at the Javits Center in Manhattan. Canon showed all its products available in the market, starting from the digital cameras and camcorders, to printers and some less popular products such as X-Ray imaging for healthcare. But the most exciting part of the Expo was the showing of concept devices which gave the attendees a peep of products which Canon might be introducing in the near future.

The current camcorders in the market comes with the capability of capturing video up to 1920 x 1080, which also is known as 1080p, or around 2 megapixels. Canon displayed a camcorder which had the capability of capturing the video at 4096 x 3072, a resolution which also is known as 4K or 8 megapixels. The device was also used to play video on a 30 inch 4K display.

The most amazing display here was Canon’s Wonder Camera. This is a drastically different camera based on a drastically different concept: the camera actually doesn’t capture still images. Instead, it continuously captures the high-resolution video when it has been powered on, and after that the users are allowed to pluck their choice of images from that video. The basic idea here is that while shooting the still image, there are chances that you might miss the actual moment which you intend to capture. But if you are constantly capturing the video, then it’s a lot easy to choose a photo from plenty of images that are being taken over the course of a few seconds.
