The new Canon 30D (leak) "Possible hoax." Ya think? Via HotLinks

Not that there aren't some good ideas there. : )

  • There's no button for beets.
  • Dude, my camera doesn't have a beer button. I got ROBBED!
  • Adams mode. Ha! A feature I'd like: camera scans scene in front of you and, via vibration or something, forces you to move the body and frame for best aesthetic composition. Or real-time net connection capability. You could have a liveblog of fans, voting for when to click the button.
  • I want a camera that can capture their SOULS!
  • I want a camera that looks at my pictures and determines what's in them and what they are about and then generates tags for Flickr and uploads the pictures and e-mails all my friends about it.
  • I want a camera that lets Web 2.0 surfers collaboratively adjust the exposure using AJAX.
  • I want a camera that tells me when I've taken too many pictures of my cats.
  • Adams mode, perhaps, but the next version will have John Quincy Adams mode! What times we live in, my friends!
  • John Quincy Adams - weren't he that feller what worked in the morgue and solved crimes?
  • I want a camera I can leave on a tripod in the mountains that waits all day until the sun is just right before taking a perfect landscape picture suitable for framing.
  • I reckon Fes might know something about Addams mode.
  • I want a camera that melts in my mouth and not on my hands.
  • Adam's mode? That's just a clothes removing feature. I only works on men, an Eve's mode is promised for the next model.
  • I want a camera that can capture their SOULS! Sorry, you need film for that.
  • THIS Adams mode?
  • Maybe Ansel Adams?
  • I want a camera that will go buy the vodka & nectarine juice for me and also bring the paper in. Until then, I'm keeping the $12,000. And maybe make my bed once in a while. Also, it should be able to do my taxes and walk the dog. My dog, the King of the Mammals. Ok, taking the meds now. Sleepy soon, quiet... quiet...down.
  • Again with the nectarine juice. Hmmm...
