Canon unveils interactive website that lets users take photos from a real satellite

CES 2021 was relatively disappointing for camera lovers. Canon has unveiled an interactive site that allows you to use its CE-SAT-1 satellite which is equipped with a lightly modified 5D Mark III DSLR. The new website has an interactive demo of the satellite which takes you through the concept and also showcases images clicked from different parts of the world. While the users can go to this new website and capture the images, these are not the real time images but pre-captured shots by the satellite. To allow users to capture live images, Canon would need to move the CE-SAT-1 around the Earth at nearly 17,000 miles per hour, circling the globe in just over an hour and half.
