It began in a room only by three Japanese men in 1933 under the name of precision optical instruments laboratory, Canon has come a long way today. It all started with the phantom prototype camera named 'Kwanon'. At that time, Germany is considered the leader in production of camera. German cameras were extremely expensive. Therefore, Goro Yoshida, together with other two attempted to produce a cheaper priced 35 mm rangefinder camera and came up with "Kwanon". "
However, at that time, one of the problems facing the company was that it had an own goal. Therefore decided to tie with Nippon Kogaku Kogyo (who became the founder of Nikon) and buy lenses from them. With the use of these lenses, Canon came up with his first commercial camera called the "Hansa Canon"in 1936, which became a hit. However, the company still had to go through difficulties due to the war.
After the war, the company officially adopted the name of "Canon" as its name. Until then, the goal was under a different name, the camera had a different name and the company had a different name. Therefore, in order to unify all these three, Canon came into existence on September 15, 1947. The company slowly began to expand, and were created many historical cameras like the calm 50 mm f/1.8 lens in 1951, Canonet in 1961, AF35M (Autoboy) in 1979 and the EOS 650 in 1987.
The first Canon digital camera was the PowerShot 600 in 1996. Then, after making several advances in digital technology, Canon released the digital SLR EOS D2000 in 1998 for professionals. In addition, introduced the camera digital video of x. due to its superior functionality and reliability, the x became the official NASA digital camcorder.
In order to provide the market with a cost effective camera along with a superior functionality and performance, Canon introduced the EOS D60 in 2002 and the EOS 10 D in 2003. These two cameras made Canon in digital technology market leader. Then the EOS Kiss Digital was introduced in 2003, which became a great success.
Today, Canon has introduced several digital camcorders. Starting with the FV30 and the FV200KIT in 2002, Canon entered launch FV M1 and M2 of IXY DV in 2003 in the range middle segment.
