Canon has announced the remarkable production mark of 110 million EOS cameras and 160 million EF/RF lenses. Canon EOS cameras were introduced in 1987 along with the Canon EF mount. The 110 millionth Canon EOS camera was a Canon EOS R6 Mark II - the 160 millionth lens an RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM. See
And in keeping with the occasion, here&s some Canon EOS history: ![]() "The EOS Series The EOS series, a new generation of AF SLR cameras that adopt the world&s first electronic mount system and achieve full electronic control of the entire system, was launched with the EOS 650, the first of the series, released in March 1987. As silver halide cameras boomed, Canon launched several models covering a wide range of user needs, including the EOS-1 in Japan in 1989, aimed at professionals, and the EOS Kiss (EOS Rebel XS or EOS 500 in other regions) in Japan in 1993, which achieved a compact, lightweight design and greatly expanded Canon&s user base. Then in 2003, during the early years of the digital camera age, the Company released in Japan the groundbreaking EOS Kiss Digital (EOS Digital Rebel or EOS 300D Digital in other regions), an entry-level digital SLR camera that realized a compact, lightweight body at an affordable price. This move would trigger a massive expansion of the camera market, with Canon claiming the overwhelming lead in market share that same year. With the later release of the EOS-1D Series for professionals and the EOS 5D series, which helped popularize video capture using SLR cameras, Canon has continued to release epoch-making products. In October 2018 Canon launched the EOS R System, which includes the inaugural EOS R and the EOS R5—the first camera to feature 8K video recording—released in July 2020 along with the EOS R3 in November 2021, which features tracking of fast-moving subjects and continuous shooting performance, and the compact, light-weight EOS R100, thus expanding the company&s product lineup. In addition, Canon launched the EOS VR System, designed to record video for virtual reality content, in December 2021. With the launch of these products and technologies, Canon is tirelessly pursuing new possibilities for visual expression." ![]() deutsche Version dieser Seite: Canon feiert die Produktionsmarke von 110 Mio EOS Kameras und 160 Mio EF/RF Objektiven |
