No, you won’t get a Sony a7r camera for $199

Sony-a7r-mirrorless-camera-for-$199
An error on the Sony online store caused a lot of discussion on reddit yesterday - a brand new Sony a7r mirrorless camera was listed for $199.99. Of course all orders got canceled... but don't hold your breath, they will get canceled too. Sony will never sell you a $2,000 camera for $200. Don't waste your time.

Canon patents the world’s first tilt-shift zoom lens with image stabilization (IS) and macro capabilities

Canon tilt-shift lens with image stabilization IS patent
Canon filed a patent for a tilt-shift lens with image stabilization (IS). Currently there are no other tilt-shift lenses with IS on the market. The lens design reveals two different IS systems - one for the tilt and one for the shift. What is even more intersting: the technical documentation even describes zoom and macro capabilities (!?). Focal length and aperture were not listed in the patent application.
