Canon has filed a patent for a camera "...employing a viewfinder device allowing [for] switching between an optical viewfinder (OVF) and an electronic viewfinder (EVF)."
Want the benefits of both an optical an electronic viewfinder? Canon may already have your camera in development. We reported on
another hybrid viewfinder patent last year, so this technology may show up in a consumer product sooner rather than later (if at all, of course).
