Now: You move your camera home, battery passed as well as memory-card full after a prolonged day’s sharpened. You mislay a label as well as battery, lane down your label reader and horse, plug them in, boredom.

The future: You travel in a doorway, put your Canon camera down onto a Canon Cross Media Station upon a side-table and go grab the cold drink from the fridge. As you sip the well-earned beverage, a shiny black box slurps in your photos as well as videos while simultaneously charging a battery, all but wires.

And it is the future. Canon’s prototype is slick, but is still the few years from entering prolongation, mostly since a cameras will need to be re-designed to work with it. Check out a video and you’ll see that a cameras – the compact, an SLR as well as the camcorder – all have irritating blue lights to let you know they’re talking to a Media Station.

The video, shot by Trusted Reviews during a Canon Expo 2010, goes upon to denote the sharing as well as display facilities, that group cinema together based upon time taken, camera used or even by chairman (using face recognition). It’s considerable stuff, but eye-candy, and directed at my mom, who would never buy this thing. Hopefully a last chronicle will only slurp the cinema out as well as send them to my mechanism. Or improved, to the tough drive that I have plugged into a behind, from where I can grab them from an iPad or laptop on a same network.

One thing yet, Canon. Don’t write any of this software yourself. I have used a things you package with cameras as well as scanners, and it sucks. I will, however, buy this cold Media Station, if only to supplement to my pickup of 2001 monolith-inspired gadgets.
