Canon camera In January 1934, Canon's predecessor, Nippon Seiki Optical The company launched the KWANNON camera, which was a rangefinder product. After designing and manufacturing as many as 32 advanced rangefinder cameras using 135 film, Canon began to add small single-lens reflex cameras in 1959. (SLR), the famous Canon Flex (CANON Flex) was produced. Because in this era, all mainstream camera manufacturers seem to realize that single-lens reflex cameras are about to become the new mainstream camera product.

Single-lens reflex cameras have many advantages that rangefinder cameras cannot match: they have no viewing parallax; they can replace a variety of photographic lenses with different specifications and purposes; they can maximize the shooting range. Automation; it can be used with a variety of attachment systems for different purposes; it will be more versatile than other forms of cameras. With the arrival of digital imaging, single-lens reflex cameras continue to flourish in this new way of recording images. From film to digital, the ancient single-lens reflex camera has entered a new era of digital imaging. The English abbreviation of single lens reflex camera is called SLR (Single Lens Reflex), while the name of digital SLR camera just needs to be preceded by a D (Digital)!

In the history of camera manufacturing, Canon is not the first manufacturer to produce single-lens reflex cameras, but in the manufacturing process of Canon single-lens reflex cameras, it has many leading records:

p>

In 1966, Canon's single-lens reflex camera Canon FT pioneered the rapid film loading system;

In 1976, Canon's AE-1 SLR camera realized automated assembly production and became the first A 135 single-lens reflex camera equipped with a central microelectronic processor, which once set a sales record of 5 million units;

In 1971, the Canon F-1 entered professional sports photography;

In 1987, Canon produced the Canon A-1, the electronic 135mm SLR camera with the most shooting functions;

Beginning in 1985, Canon began its journey of autofocus SLR cameras. Canon The T80 was one of the world's first 135 autofocus single-lens reflex cameras. The Canon EOS650 autofocus SLR camera, produced since 1987, has begun the Canon "EOS Symphony" that integrates a variety of latest technologies.

Canon's EOS camera first abandoned the mechanically driven FD lens system, and then changed it to the new EF electronic mount series lens, which pioneered the autofocus method of the internal drive motor of the lens and redesigned the lens to fit the human body. Camera appearance based on engineering principles. With the emergence of the EOS DCS 3c in 1995, Canon's EOS series cameras successfully entered the field of digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR).

Canon should be one of the companies that designs and manufactures the largest variety of digital single-lens reflex cameras so far, and the technological progress of Canon EOS DSLR is also obvious.

Since camera manufacturing technology entered the era of digital imaging, traditional optical camera manufacturing technology has been severely challenged! Modern digital cameras have become true high-tech image recording products that integrate light, mechanics and electronics. Canon, which seems to have been well prepared, relies on its years of accumulated electronic imaging technology and more than half a century of experience in manufacturing optical cameras. , has been winning battles on the EOS DSLR front:

The Canon EOS D2000, produced in 1998, has become the standard equipment of many professional journalists;

The EOS D30 in 2000 has become the Successfully entered the field of vision of amateur photographers;

The 2002 EOS-1Ds was favored by professional photographers with its reputation as the highest pixel 135 platform digital SLR camera;

Canon EOS 300D, released in China on August 20, 2003, reinterprets the new concept of popular DSLR.

Digital SLR cameras have become a new profit growth point for major camera manufacturers, because with the further popularity of this camera product, its users are no longer limited to professional photographers. More and more amateur photographers, and even ordinary users who have never been exposed to photography are constantly joining the ranks of digital SLR camera users. They all already know that this photography tool that specializes in taking pictures will satisfy them. They are special about high-quality image recording.

Judging from the current situation, Canon has almost all technologies in the field of manufacturing digital single-lens reflex cameras, including image sensors, image processing systems and optical lenses. The support of traditional Canon SLR camera users over the years for their products has become an important reason for the success of today's Canon digital SLR cameras. Canon has become a world-famous camera brand, and what makes this brand possible is its decades of experience in manufacturing nearly 100 single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs).

The history of Sony Cameras Sony Cyber-shot digital cameras began with the 350,000-pixel DSC-F1 digital camera in 1996 and has continued to develop. The latest model's shooting capability has exceeded 8 million pixels. Through interviews with developers, let us learn together how the first Cyber-shot digital camera DSC-F1 was born after overcoming various difficulties...

Everything It all started one day in 1995.

A group gathered in a corner of Sony's laboratory accepted a task: to develop a fun-filled digital camera.

That was the development instructions for the Cyber-shot DSC-F1, which was later launched in October 1996.

This task aroused the enthusiasm of the entire group.

It’s not enough to just develop a satisfying product.

“If we want to do something, let us create a world of digital images.”

“Introduce a new digital culture and lifestyle of photo photography” .

The ideas born out of the passion, philosophy and craftsmanship of the DSC-F1 developers have been inherited by a series of subsequent models (DSC-F55, DSC-F77 and DSC-F88) to this day. Still timeless.
