Canon patent reveals a new target for cameras without a mirror, you dare Canon with CSC?

The Japanese website Egami has discovered a new patent application made ​​by Canon, which details a new kit lens for cameras with APS-C sensor , built into many biologists DSLR models of the firm. However, the nature of this objective is otherwise, as according to the website is especially designed for mirrorless cameras, which is quite strange coming from a company like Canon, which has made ​​few attempts to approach this type of camera has put in practical compact models of fixed targets, such as his spectacular G1 X , with a 1.5-inch sensor, ready to compete with their counterparts with interchangeable lenses. Canon's new goal, a 18-45mm f3.5-5.6 with openings would be the equivalent of a 29-70mm at 35mm, with the multiplication factor.

Canon is one of the few major manufacturers of digital cameras - or only - it still has not dared to take the step to the great market of the cameras without a mirror, which are booming and more and get more and more competitors. This could be indicative of a new venture for the Japanese, who would use, if this goal is for reference, APS-C sensors (such as riding, for example, chambers of the family Sony NEX) that would have the advantage other formats to a larger size, able to capture more light and therefore, among other things, reduce the image noise in low light conditions. The time is opportune, given the success of models like the Olympus Pen-E, or Panasonic's GF series, and upcoming additions to the market for "retro" Fuji, Olympus and Pentax, with their X-Pro , OM-D and K series . Canon's reputation and loyal following almost assured success would mean for the first EVIL camera out of the house. That, or Canon has decided to make targets for other firms.
