Digital SLR cameras news
An unnamed camera maker has signed an agreement to develop the technology for DSLRs, according to MTI Micro, the maker of the Mobion-branded fuel cell.
The system uses methanol and is designed to replace Lithium-ion and similar rechargeable battery systems, and it will lead to an inexpensive and cheap digital SLR camera battery.
The US manufacturer said it has signed an agreement with a 'global Japanese developer of digital cameras', to evaluate the 'feasibility, development and production of Mobion products'.
Unveiled as a prototype earlier this year the Mobion camera grip uses a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell and is designed to work like a battery pack grip on today's digital SLRs.
Its maker claims it can be refilled with methanol for 'instant power', thereby allowing photographers 'the freedom to use the camera any time, anywhere, without having to recharge from a wall outlet'.
