Canon - Camera- wiki. The free camera encyclopedia. Canon, headquartered in Tokyo, is a Japanese company that specializes in imaging and optical products, including cameras, photocopiers and computer printers. Its current name is Canon Inc. History. The company was founded in 1. Seiki Kōgaku Kenkyūjo (精機光学研究所, or Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory) by the co- founder Yoshida Gorō (吉田五郎)[1] from Hiroshima and his brother- in- law Uchida Saburō (内田三郎)[1], funded by Mitarai Takeshi (御手洗毅)[1], a close friend of Uchida.
Its original purpose was to research into the development of quality cameras. Therefore Yoshida Gorō disassembled an original Leica II and studied it mindfully. In June 1. 93. 4 they released their first camera, the Kwanon (pronounced kannon), named after the Buddhist bodhisattva of mercy of the same name (観音, カンオン; in Chinese Guān Yīn). Later it became the "Hansa Canon", the company's first commercial camera.
The following year the camera's name was changed to the less overtly religious Canon (キャノン, pronounced kyanon). The company changed its name to Canon Camera in 1. Canon in 1. 96. 9. The company's earliest cameras derived much from the design of the Leicathreadmountrangefinder cameras; concerns about patents, as well as ignorance of the precise specification of the Leica thread mount, kept these earliest Canon cameras distinctive. Copies only came after the war, but Seiki Kōgaku swiftly equipped postwar Canon bodies with a combined viewfinder / rangefinder with three- way switchable magnification (5.

In 1. 99. 6 Canon became the benchmark for the new but not very successful film market standard APS by introducing its high quality Canon IXUS camera series. In 2. 00. 0 it launched its first amateur DSLRCanon EOS D3. Canon's APS SLRs as well as its DSLRs continued to have the Canon EF- mount so that older Canon autofocus lenses are applicable with the newer cameras. Canon started to make its own CMOS image sensors.
It was a sad day when my trusty, often travel companion, Canon PowerShot A80 passed away in a drowning accident at north end of Lake Washington in a rare, sunny day of winter '05. After the mourning was over, I've chosen an.
