That is interesting news.
Bank, IMO tamron's internal image stabalization for stills is better than in canon ef lenses.

On a semi-related subject:

"Since filing for bankruptcy protection, Kodak has sold off several businesses, such as its online photo service, and said it would shut down other divisions, including the manufacturing of digital cameras."

"Kodak began mining its patent portfolio for license revenue in 2008. In January 2010, it sued Apple and RIM, saying that smartphone makers infringed its patent for technology that lets a camera preview low-resolution versions of a moving image while recording still images at higher resolutions."

"Kodak spokesman Christopher Veronda said each licensee will pay a portion of the total cost and then have access to all the patents."

"Apple Inc., Google Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Research In Motion Ltd., Microsoft Corp., China's Huawei Technologies, Facebook Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. are among the 12 companies paying to license the 1,100 patents"

IMO we will see even more cool tech come out in 2013 will all of these companies puting their R&D $ into Kodak's IP.
