Canon 3D DSLR Conceptual Mockup

Michael Zhang · May 17, 2010

3D photography hasn’t arrived in the consumer DSLR world yet, and existing setups require combining two DSLR cameras. What would a 3D-capable DSLR system look like?

Photographer Dean Francis has created a conceptual mockup of the Canon EOS 3D, a DSLR that can either be used as a traditional DSLR, or can be used for 3D photography by attaching an additional module containing a lens and sensor. Another grip module can also be added to the end to make two handed shooting easier.

Here’s what the system looks like when each piece is separate:

To see the mockup in full screen as a flash animation, check out Francis’ website.

With the recent craze in 3D imaging and display technologies, do you think a 3D DSLR system like this might be announced sometime in the near future?

This is completely unrealistic! There's no way the 'D' on the “3D” square would be red – really disharmonious! This completely shuts out all hopes on ever getting a 3D DSLR.

Considering the often small differences in focal distances across individual lenses of the same model, and having no control over the view of the second lens, and having no way to relay the light captured through it to the same sensor as the first, I don't really see how this is possible or even practical.

But it looks cool.

Me want!
I wonder if it could also be used to take two pics of the same event at different focal lengths? Certainly not for 3D purposes but I can think of some experimental projects to use something like this setup with.

no need to do this at all~ they just needa have an auto shift lens with bracket function.
