LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., March 2, 2012 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Canon EOS camera system. This award-winning system, which has helped photographers worldwide capture memorable images, first debuted in March of 1987 with the introduction of the EOS 650 SLR camera and three interchangeable EF lenses.
Following the introduction of the EOS D30 camera in 2000, Canon began developing advanced digital technologies, such as proprietary CMOS sensors and high-performance proprietary DIGIC image processors, in an effort to offer products that fulfilled the Company's key concepts of superior image quality, high speed and ease-of-use. With the introduction of the flagship EOS-1D X camera, the newly introduced EOS 5D Mark III camera and the popular Rebel T3i camera, Canon's rich digital SLR camera lineup continues the tradition, serving the needs of all levels of users, from professional photographers to entry-level photo enthusiasts.
Canon's interchangeable EF lens series have become the industry standard, with Canon's optical technologies at its core. These lenses incorporate innovative technologies such as Ultrasonic Motor (USM), Image Stabilization (IS), Sub-wavelength Structure (SWC) anti-reflection and multi-layered diffractive optical (DO) elements. The current EF lens lineup comprises over 60 models, providing a diverse range of imaging-expression possibilities.
With the recent launch of the Cinema EOS System of professional digital cinematography products, Canon's EOS system now supports motion picture production and other high-end video capture applications. The new Cinema EOS cameras and lenses will help expand the brand and extend capturing capabilities.
Canon will continue to refine its diverse imaging technologies based on its core optical technologies, striving to produce exceptional and reliable cameras and lenses that cater to the varying needs of users while contributing to expanding the culture of photographic and video imaging.
