In the early thirties, the two most popular brands of miniature cameras were Leica and Contax, both made in
Germany, is
the camera kingdom of the world.
These two brands attracted the camera fans, receiving enthusiastic support throughout the world as super grade cameras. There was a Japanese man who disassembled a Leica camera in an attempt to develop a high-grade 35mm focal-plane-shutter rangefinder camera (hereafter referred to as a 35mm rangefinder camera). “Kwanon” became a phantom prototype camera.
In spite of the intensive trial and efforts made to commercialize the “Kwanon” camera, Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory did not have a lens, an essential component, to meet the requirements for a high-grade camera. Incidentally, “Hansa” was the trademark of the Omiya Shashin Yohin Co., Ltd. (Omiya camera and accessory shop), which had previously concluded an exclusive sales agreement with the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory. “Canon” became the new trademark of Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory. Along with this change of location, its name was changed to the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory.
The first Canon digital camera was the PowerShot 600 in 1996. Then, after making several advances in digital technology, Canon launched the EOS D2000 digital SLR camera in 1998 for professionals. In addition, the XL1 digital video camera was introduced. In order to provide the market with a cost effective camera along with superior functionality and performance, Canon introduced the EOS D60 in 2002 and the EOS 10D in 2003. These two cameras made Canon the market leader in digital technology. Today, Canon has introduced several digital camcorders. As the company progresses, Canon continue to strive to provide its consumers with better and better technology at the lowest price possible.
