  • Patent number: 6853404
    Abstract: An electronic view camera integrates a camera head assembly and laptop computer into a tripod mountable unified structure. The rigid frame, that unifies the camera head and computer, accommodates a choice of laptop type computers from a variety of different manufacturers. The open front, back and side design of the rigid frame permits ready access for electrical connections and for access to removable storage devices, keyboard, and pointing device. The computer LCD acts as a large screen viewfinder for the camera and has the “feel” of a professional type view camera rather than the “feel” of a computer system with a photographic peripheral.
