Speed, Comfort and High Image Quality

Canon UK Press Release

Canon Inc. today announces that the company’s interchangeable-lens digital cameras (digital SLR and mirrorless cameras) have maintained the No. 1 share of the global market for 16 consecutive years from 2003 to 2018.

Canon develops the key imaging system components featured in its EOS series of interchangeable-lens cameras – CMOS image sensors, image processors and interchangeable lenses – under the core concept of ‘Speed, Comfort and High Image Quality’. Incorporating a wide-ranging product lineup – from high-performance flagship models that are highly trusted by professionals to entry-level models that allow users to enjoy high image quality shooting with easy operation – Canon continues to support the diverse needs of customers.

In 2003, the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS 300D. This groundbreaking camera, which was competitively priced and featured a compact, lightweight design, captured the top share of the global market and set the stage for growth in the digital SLR market. Since that time, Canon has continued to launch a range of groundbreaking products, including the professional-model EOS-1D series and the EOS 5D series, which paved the way for digital SLR video recording.

In March 2018, Canon launched products such as the EOS M50 mirrorless camera and EOS 2000D DSLR, which allow entry-level users to effortlessly enjoy capturing professional-looking images. In striving to further expand its line-up, Canon has once again secured the leading share of the global market in 2018.

In September 2018, in pursuit of further expanding the boundaries of image capture and new possibilities in visual expression, Canon launched the EOS R mirrorless camera, equipped with a full-frame sensor, as part of the EOS R System, a new imaging system with lenses at its core. What’s more, in February 2019 Canon launched the EOS RP – a small, light and practical full-frame mirrorless camera with impressive image quality – and announced six new RF lenses, currently under development, as part of its plan to expand the EOS R System.

Canon will continue to refine its diverse imaging technologies based on its core optical technology to expand and create an even stronger EOS System that offers new avenues of image capture to meet the needs of increasingly diverse users and to promote the ever-growing photo and video culture.

It all sounds like a bunch of BS. Both take pictures...so what.
Like my son, he rants and raves about Fords. Me, I think Ford is not so good. I drive an Audi A8. We both get to the same place when we have to.

I must say that years ago when I was in the service I started out with Yashica, then Petri and then Nikon.
In the early 2000s, I went to digital point and shoot Nikons.
Around 2007 I kept seeing pictures made with Canons that looked great.
I got a Canon Point and Shoot, then a Canon 7D with a kit lens. As my knowledge and enthusiasm increased I moved to Canon "L" glass.
Pretty soon I was invested in Canon glass.
Then came the Canon 6D & 5DIV and more glass.
Needless to say a change for me would be costly.
I watched as Nikon & Sony came out with good and some better cameras.
I still hung on, and now Canon has moved on to the Canon mirrorless R & RP models that will use my "L" Glass with little if any penalty.
About two weeks ago I received my new Canon RP. Not a world (Sony, Nikon, etc.) beater, however a very capable full frame camera.
It is equal to or more capable in some areas than my 5DIV.

Bottom line, it is just like using my $$$ golf clubs, I still can't consistently shoot low numbers or take exceedingly good pics.
But, I occasionally have a sprinkling of "birdies" during a round that keeps me returning to the golf course with high hopes.
It is the same with photography, no matter how $$$ the camera is I can't find the consistency required to consider myself a journeyman photographer.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

I do not shoot Canon but hold them in the highest of respect. I went through many of their cameras in my film days and still use my T 90 for black and white work. That camera formed the basis for all modern Canon professional-grade cameras made today.

I currently use Nikon, but after reading this thread I'll ask my wife, as soon as she wakes up this morning, if i can scrap all my "evil" N gear and immediately replace it with Canon gear. As soon as I get her approval, I'll make the change.

Maybe when I get the Canon gear I'll finally be able to take a good snapshot. :-)

I own both and love them equally as I would my children. I am blessed because they enrich my life and give me pause to reflect on how lucky I truly am. I hope everyone here get's the camera of their dreams and I can't wait to hear them tell me about their new found happiness......hahaha

The UHH....it's a VERY GOOD THING.

I shoot with Canon gear and have for years. I was talking to an Olympus rep a while back and he said, "Truth to tell, you can't buy a bad camera today." I think he is right. What we really need is good photographers behind the camera - whatever brand.

I've been shooting Canon for 40 years now and if I had one word to describe the experience it would be reliable. Those cameras and lenses always come through. To each their own and I know there are other manufactures who make outstanding cameras but I am quite content with my choice.
