The Nikon brand is famous across the world. Synonymous with quality and durability, Nikon has carved out a large market for themselves, competing with the likes of Canon for the top-spot in the camera world.
The Nikon company started out small but has grown into one of the most successful commercial camera manufacturers in the world. The Nikon camera quickly came to be thought of as one of the top choices amongst camera technology at the time.
Since these early years Nikon has grown into a powerhouse of the camera world. Numerous technological improvements have kept Nikon cameras at the top end of the camera market.
The launch of the Nikon F SLR in 1959 was a landmark in the company’s history setting an industry standard for SLR design. The design was robust and easily usable by astronauts whilst they wore their restrictive space suits. As a result of the success of this camera Nikon continued to design more cameras for NASA.
During the ’90s Nikon produced more top quality SLRs that served to retain Nikon’s place at the top of commercial camera equipment standings. In 1992 Nikon released the NIKONOS RS, the world’s first autofocus SLR camera usable under water.
Nikon went on to team up with Fuji Films producing the E2 and E2S digital still cameras in 1995. In 1997 Nikon then introduced their first digital camera called the CoolPix 100. As of then Nikon has kept itself at the top of the digital camera world with a constant stream of new releases improving digital camera technology year on year.
