Melville, NY—Canon USA, Inc., announced its parent company, Canon Inc., is celebrating the fact that its EOS interchangeable-lens digital camera line has “maintained the number one market share worldwide in terms of volume” for 12 consecutive years from 2003–2014, according to Canon research.
In addition to the lenses, Canon develops the CMOS image sensors and image processors utilized in its interchangeable-lens cameras. The most advanced of these technologies are incorporated across the company’s entire product lineup, from professional-level flagship cameras to entry-level consumer models.
In 2003, at the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its EOS Rebel DSLR, which featured a compact, lightweight design and a competitive price that helped set the stage for Canon’s growth in the DSLR market. Since that time, Canon has continued to launch products, including the EOS 1D camera series for professional photographers and the EOS 5D DSLR series that paved the way for DSLR video recording with its full-frame sensor and video-capture function.
In September 2014, targeting advanced amateurs, Canon announced the EOS 7D Mark II camera, which boasts fast, continuous shooting speeds of up to 10 frames per second and enhanced autofocus performance.
Aiming to further strengthen its product lineup, Canon introduced four camera models in February 2015, including the EOS 5DS and 5DS R cameras, both which Canon says have the “world’s highest pixel count among 35mm full-frame sensor digital SLR cameras,” as well as the EOS Rebel T6s and the EOS Rebel T6i entry-level DSLRs. usa.canon.com
