BBspot – Canon Fuses SLR Camera with Cell Phone

Yes, this article is a parody:

In a stunning technological breakthrough, Canon has managed to combine their digital SLR cameras with advanced cell phone technology. From now on, you will always have a phone handy, no matter where you are.

But it seems like a good idea to me. Adding small, underpowered cameras to cell phones has been successful but I haven’t found it to be very useful; my Treo’s camera is there when I need to take a picture, but seldom has the resolution, zoom or light sensitivity to adequately record the subject. A pro-quality camera with cellular capabilities sounds like a natural fit coming from the other direction.
