Canon Digital Cameras Are First Choice With The Pros
The year was 1933 when three Japanese got together and began a company known as Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory, which was later to become known as Canon that in turn was to gain fame throughout the world. The first of the Canon cameras to hit the market was a prototype phantom known as ‘Kwanon’ which may not have been like the far more superior as well as costly German cameras that were almost the norm in cameras of those times, but were good enough to compete with those better known German cameras, which led Goro Yoshida and his two friends to come out with the 35mm rangefinder cameras that were less costly and which were sold under the name ‘Kwanon’.
Lack Of Its Own Lenses
To make for the lack of its own lenses for its cameras, the company tied up with Nippon Kogaku Kogyo, the forerunner of yet another famous Japanese camera company called Nikon and the first camera sold commercially by Canon was named the Hansa Canon which hit the market in 1936 and which was an instant hit.
After the Second World War, the company was christened Canon and thus began the slow expansion which saw the creation of many historic cameras including Serener, Canonet as well as EOS. The first of its many Canon digital cameras was released in 1996 and this was the Powershot 600, and after incorporating many more advanced features, the next great Cannon digital camera that hit the market in 1998 was the EOS D2000 digital SLR followed by yet another innovative product known as XL1 and these Canon digital cameras all had excellent functionality and were very reliable as well, while the XL1 proved its worth by being chosen by NASA as its official digital video camcorder.
