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 and 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 and costly German cameras, but were good enough to compete with those better known German cameras. Goro Yoshida and his two friends came out with the 35mm rangefinder cameras that were less costly and which were sold under the name ‘Kwanon’.

To make up 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. The first camera sold commercially by Canon was named the Hansa Canon, which hit the market in 1936 and was an instant success.

After the Second World War, the company was christened Canon and 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. After incorporating many more advanced features, the next great Cannon digital camera that hit the market was in 1998. 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. The XL1 proved its worth by being chosen by NASA as its official digital video camcorder.

Finding there was a need to provide customers with Canon digital cameras that were cost effective and which had advanced functionality, Canon came out with the EOS D60 in the year 2002 and the EOS 10D a year later. These models took the market by storm, with Canon digital cameras becoming the leaders in their field and then in 2003, another Canon digital camera the EOS Kiss Digital came out. Its success was a foregone conclusion and helped make Canon the foremost name in digital cameras.

Not content to sit back on its laurels, Canon digital cameras are continuously being priced lower and incorporating better technology to help retain their market position and they are the first choice of professional photographers, thanks to the wide range of Canon digital cameras available in the market today.
