I was first introduced to this technology at the 2005 Canon Expo.  I for one have been waiting on the release of this technology with baited breath.

What this would mean is a single fuel cell could power the entire camera system, including the external flash.  This would allow for a lighter weight system and a longer lasting power supply.  In and environmentally sensitive society this system would produce a lower carbon footprint as well, keeping in line with Canon’s commitment to a clean environment.

Posted at engadget.com is an interesting speculation on the future power supply for digital cameras.  Canon patents fuel cell DSLR, we’re ready – Engadget.

More details can be found on Photography Bay with their 8/11/08 post  and a  May 19th 2008 post.
