Canon Celebrates 110 million EOS Cameras and 160 million RF/EF lenses

Canon celebrates significant milestones with production of 110 million EOS series cameras and 160 million interchangeable RF/EF lenses

Canon Celebrates 110 million EOS Cameras and 160 million RF/EF lenses

MELVILLE, NY, June 29, 2023 – Canon U.S.A., Inc. today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc., has reached two major production milestones—a cumulative total of 110 million1 EOS Series interchangeable-lens cameras in March and a cumulative total of 160 million2 RF/EF series interchangeable lenses in May. An EOS R6 Mark II Camera (released in December 2022) was the 110 millionth EOS series camera produced, while an RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM (released in July 2021) became the Company’s 160 millionth interchangeable lens produced.

Canon’s production of EOS Series cameras reaches 110 million mark through its pursuit of “Speed, Comfort and High Image Quality”

EOS, or Electro Optical System, is also the name of the Greek goddess of the dawn. The Canon EOS system debuted alongside the EF series of interchangeable lenses in March 1987 as the world’s first fully-electronic mount system for silver halide film AF SLR cameras. During the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS Kiss Digital Camera (EOS Digital Rebel Camera or EOS 300D Camera in other regions) in September 2003. Since then, Canon has continued to launch a range of groundbreaking products, including the professional-model EOS-1D Camera series and the EOS 5D Camera series, which paved the way for digital SLR video recording. Canon’s desire to further expand the boundaries of visual expression led to its next-generation EOS R Camera System, launched in October 2018. By striving to expand its lineup of attractive products to meet a diverse range of needs, the Canon EOS camera series has gained and maintained the support of many users over the years. As a result, the Company has maintained the world’s No. 1 share3 of digital SLR cameras over 20 years, from 2003 to 2022. In March 2023, Canon produced its 110 millionth EOS series camera.

Canon’s production of Canon RF/EF lenses reaches 160 million unit production milestone on the strength of advanced imaging technology

Canon’s proprietary EF lenses, launched in March 1987 along with the EOS SLR camera system, have continued to evolve since their introduction, leading the industry through the incorporation of a wide range of innovative technologies, including the world’s firsts4 as the Ultrasonic Motor (USM), Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, and a multilayered diffractive optical (DO) element.

With the addition of the RF Lens—which achieves unprecedented high image quality by leveraging a large aperture and short-back focus, along with a high-speed signal transmission system that are the hallmarks of the EOS R System of cameras and lenses launched in 2018—the entire range of lenses now includes a total of 115 models5, expanding the possibilities of image capture. In May 2023, the Company celebrated the production of 160 million EOS series interchangeable lenses.

Refining its proprietary imaging technologies, Canon plans to continue to strengthen and expand the EOS series along with its RF and EF lens lineup, striving to push the frontier of imaging forward and to contribute to the further development of photographic and video imaging culture.

The EOS Series Cameras

The EOS camera series, a new generation of AF SLR cameras that adopted the world's first electronic mount system and achieved full electronic control of the entire system, was launched with the EOS 650 Camera, the first of the series, released in March 1987.

As silver halide cameras boomed, Canon launched several models covering a wide range of user needs, including the EOS-1 Camera in Japan in 1989, aimed at professionals, and the EOS Kiss Camera (EOS Rebel XS Camera or EOS 500 Camera in other regions) in Japan in 1993, which achieved a compact, lightweight design and greatly expanded Canon’s user base. Then in 2003, during the early years of the digital camera age, the Company released in Japan the groundbreaking EOS Kiss Digital Camera (EOS Digital Rebel Camera or EOS 300D Digital Camera in other regions), an entry-level digital SLR camera that realized a compact, lightweight body at an affordable price. This move would trigger a massive expansion of the camera market, with Canon claiming the overwhelming lead in market share that same year. With the later release of the EOS-1D Camera Series for professionals and the EOS 5D Camera series, which helped popularize video capture using SLR cameras, Canon has continued to release epoch-making products.

In October 2018, Canon launched the EOS R Camera System, which includes the inaugural EOS R Camera and the EOS R5 Camera —the first camera to feature 8K video recording—released in July 2020 along with the EOS R3 Camera in November 2021, which features tracking of fast-moving subjects and continuous shooting performance, and the compact, lightweight EOS R100 Camera, thus expanding the Company’s product lineup. In addition, Canon launched the EOS VR System, designed to record video for virtual reality content, in December 2021. With the launch of these products and technologies, Canon is tirelessly pursuing new possibilities for visual expression.

Canon RF and EF Lenses

Since the release of the first EF lens, launched alongside the EOS series in March 1987, Canon has produced such EF lenses featuring world-first technologies as the EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM with image stabilization, which was launched in Japan in 1995, the EF400mm f/4 DO IS USM with a DO lens, which was launched in Japan in 2001 and the EF24mm f/1.4L II USM, treated with highly antireflective Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC6), which was launched in Japan in 2008. In 2018, Canon released the RF28-70mm F2 L USM—a standard zoom lens featuring the world’s first fast f/2 aperture across the entire zoom range7—and in May 2023, the Company released the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM large-diameter telephoto zoom lens, that realizes both high image quality and portability.

Today, Canon boasts 115 lenses in its rich RF and EF lens lineup that comprises such lenses as an ultra-wide-angle 5.2 mm focal length lens, a 1200 mm focal length super-telephoto lens, and EF Cinema Series lenses for video production. With a wide selection of lenses for every purpose, including zoom lenses, IS-equipped lenses, fast-aperture lenses, macro lenses, VR lenses, and even the TS-E tilt-shift lenses, Canon is well-positioned to meet the needs of various users.

“The Natural History Museum is now closed – Canon and Red Bull, the museum is yours”

• For one week only, London’s iconic Natural History Museum was transformed into a skatepark for the very first time
• Canon and Red Bull teamed up to capture the incredible moment Red Bull team skaters took over the space to session the rails at the entrance, take on a mega-ramp across the main stairs and kick-flip over a Velociraptor
• The crew worked with the latest Canon technology to capture the action, including the EOS C500 Mark II, the PowerShot V10 and the XF605 video camera

Canon and Red Bull team up to capture 'Skate the Museum'

19th June, London, UK – Canon, Red Bull and a crew of Red Bull skaters were handed the keys to London’s Natural History Museum for one week only to skate amongst the museum’s 80 million artifacts, utilising a broad range of cutting-edge imaging technology from Canon to capture all of the skate action.

With the help of legendary skatepark designer Joe Ciaglia, a host of Red Bull skaters including six-time X-Games Gold Medalist Leticia Bufoni, rising star Lore Bruggeman, and Argentina’s Aldana Bertran turned the iconic space into a skatepark, creating a once-in-a-lifetime session shot exclusively on Canon.

The museum's prominent exhibitions including the Minerals Hall and the iconic Hintze Hall, complete with Hope the whale, were transformed into skate-friendly areas overnight, with ramps and railings set up across the building to take advantage of the natural architecture in the space. The trio of skaters were joined by skate legend Margie Didal and together they scoped out the whole museum to skate spots that no-one will ever skate again.

To capture the seminal moment with perfect precision, it was essential the team on the ground had the very best Canon technology available to them.

The film crews worked with the Canon EOS C500 Mark II which features a 5.9K Full Frame sensor packed into a compact and reliable Cinema EOS body, alongside the next generation Canon EOS C300 Mark III, incorporating Canon’s 4K Super 35mm DGO sensor, with 4K 120P Slow motion, High Dynamic Range and Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

Kiefer Passey, Director of Photography, commented: “One of the features in the kit I really enjoyed was the Servo Grip. Being able to have a cinema lens which can zoom in and out very quickly is absolutely amazing to use. It’s fast, the auto focus is good and it really brought me back to the early days of filming skateboarding.”

Additional kit included the Canon CR-N700 and CR-N500, both with class-leading auto focus and a 15x optical zoom (30x in Full HD) that captures productions in superb detail, even in Night Mode. Both feature exceptional stability for smooth PTZ operation, which was essential for capturing the skate magic on the day.

One of the set pieces captured at the museum was a ‘bullet-time’ moment where Red Bull skate athlete Leticia Bufoni kick-flipped over the skeleton of a Velociraptor. This was achieved in conjunction with the team at technical production agency The Flash Pack via a rig of 64 Canon DSLRs.

The Canon EOS R5 was utilised once the sun had gone down, as the quality in lowlight allowed the team to capture incredible atmospheric shots of the skaters at the museum after-hours.

The Canon PowerShot V10 acted as a small and easy-to-use lightweight portable camera with a crisp image. The PowerShot V10 incorporates built-in stereo microphone, wide angle lens and shake-free footage thanks to Enhanced Image Stabilisation.

To achieve a perfect blend of polished cinematography and ‘street-style’ shooting, skate legend Margie Didal – unfortunately injured and so unable to take part – took on the role of live recording, co-opting a Canon XF605 video camera to snag on-the-ground action shots. One of the cameramen commented, “She got some really great angles, I think we might be out of a job!”

The Canon XF605 delivers a new level of performance and control for solo shooters, with 15x optical zoom, professional connectivity and advanced autofocus including Eye Detection AF and intelligent Head Tracking for the first time in the XF Series.

Director Caitlin Black, Cut Media, said: “It’s a dream come true to be able to film inside such an incredible location and to work with Canon to capture it all.”

Director of Photography, Kiefer Passey, said: “Working with the Canon ecosystem all together has been really good. The picture quality is unmatched, the colours are perfect – it just does the job when the job has to be done in that small amount of time.

“It’s been a really fun shoot because we’ve been able to focus on the creative with such a varied and amazing range of kit to achieve our vision.”

Creative Director at The Flash Pack, Tyson Benton, said: “We use Canon for everything. You need reliability, and you need quality. Those are what you really want out of a camera. On shoots like these there’s a lot of things that can go wrong – fortunately the cameras are the one thing that doesn’t.”

Red Bull skate athlete Leticia Bufoni said: “It was a historic moment for the skate scene. We are used to being kicked out of museums or their grounds, but on this occasion the Natural History Museum allowed us to come inside and create a park around their stuff. They had obviously never had ramps in there so it was cool to create them all and skate this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“I was pretty nervous skating around their artifacts. We were taking big risks to avoid damaging them. It was certainly one of the craziest nights of my life.”

London, 19 June 2023 – As part of its ongoing partnership with the Hillingdon Hospitals Charity, Canon will be helping to raise money to support the development of a new rehabilitation garden for patients at Hillingdon Hospital. Taking place between 19th and 30th June, the online silent auction will offer bidders the opportunity to own outstanding photographic works created by Canon Global Academy students, Canon employees and Canon Ambassador Clive Booth.

For patients undergoing long stays at hospital, having a tranquil, outdoor space they can spend time in is important for supporting recovery through outside therapy. Following the relocation of rehabilitation units to a new location within Hillingdon Hospital, the Hillingdon Hospitals Charity has identified a plot of land to be developed into a dedicated rehabilitation garden to support patients from rehabilitation wards during their recovery.

In partnership with Chelsea Flower Show gold medalist Tom Stuart-Smith, who has created gardens for the Royal Household at Windsor Castle, the Hillingdon Hospitals Charity aims to raise enough money to carry out landscaping on the plot of land to develop a peaceful space where patients and their families can spend time away from the wards in a natural environment. Plans for the garden include making the space fully wheelchair-accessible, planting raised beds with a variety of plants and flowers and installing seating areas throughout.

To help raise the funds needed for the garden, Canon is running an online silent photography auction between 19th-30th June. During the auction, participants will be able to bid on a wide range of stunning photography taken by students participating in the Canon Global Academy, Canon employees, and award-winning photographer and Canon Ambassador Clive Booth.

TOKYO, June 5, 2023—Canon Inc. announced today that the Tsuzuri Project (officially, the Cultural Heritage Inheritance Project), a joint project organized by the Kyoto Culture Association (NPO) and Canon, donated a high-resolution facsimile of "Amusements at the Dry Riverbed, Shijô"—the original of which resides in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston—as part of the project's Stage 15. The facsimile was donated to the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage and will be displayed at the Tokyo National Museum from Tuesday, June 6 to Sunday, August 27.

"Amusements at the Dry Riverbed, Shijô" depicts in exquisite detail the bustling pleasure district of Kyoto during the Edo period (17th century). Gold is lavishly used to decorate the scene through the use of gold paint1 to depict the ground, and gold sand2 to depict clouds. With the original "Amusements at the Dry Riverbed, Shijô" held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, there have been very few opportunities thus far to admire the work in Japan.

Canon's EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera was used in the creation of the high-resolution facsimile. The camera was used to capture images of the original work, after which Canon applied its proprietary color matching system and image processing. The facsimile was then output using large-format inkjet printers with 12-color pigment ink. Finally, expert Kyoto craftsmen applied gold to the facsimile and mounted it on folding screen frames, completing an extremely accurate reproduction of the original work.

With the donation of this high-resolution facsimile to the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, it can be put on display for the general public, creating opportunities to view and admire this priceless work of Japanese culture.

The donated high-resolution facsimile will be on display at the Tokyo National Museum hands-on space in the Japanese Gallery (Honkan) Room T3, during the "The Door to Japanese Art" event to be held from Tuesday, June 6 to Sunday August 27. While many original cultural assets must be kept behind glass cases, this facsimile will be openly displayed, allowing visitors to admire the work up close.

1 Gold paint (JPN: kindei) is a type of paint made from powdered pure or nearly pure gold mixed with an adhesive called nikawa.
2 Gold sand (JPN: sunago) is a Japanese art technique in which powdered gold or silver leaf is used to decorate a scene.

About the Tsuzuri Project

The Tsuzuri Project is a joint social contribution initiative organized by the Kyoto Culture Association (NPO) and Canon. Many of Japan's precious ancient cultural assets have limited viewing opportunities, often because they have been moved overseas or are preserved in storage as designated national treasures. Combining Canon's technical expertise in imaging, processing and output with the master craftsmanship of traditional Kyoto artisans, the Project produces high-resolution facsimiles. High-resolution facsimiles are donated to related recipients such as shrines, temples, local governments and museums. These cultural assets are available for a variety of purposes including public display and tangible educational materials. Works from artists including Katsushika Hokusai, Tawaraya Sotatsu and Ogata Korin, have been selected since, with 57 facsimiles produced and donated to date.

Canon SPAD Sensor Journal Article receives Walter Kosonocky Award

Canon SPAD sensor journal article receives Walter Kosonocky Award from industry's leading academic technological organization

3.2 megapixel Canon SPAD sensor (prototype)
3.2 megapixel Canon SPAD sensor (prototype)


TOKYO, June 1, 2023—Canon Inc. announced today that a journal article published by the company was presented with the Walter Kosonocky Award1 on May 25by the International Image Sensor Society (IISS), a leading academic technological organization in the image sensor industry. The journal article was presented with the award in recognition of the significant contributions it has made to image sensor technology, and was chosen from among many such articles presented at academic conferences and published in journals around the world during the past two years, making this award a truly international honor.

The Walter Kosonocky Award-winning article by Canon was presented in 2021 at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) conference, the most prestigious international academic conference in the field of semiconductor devices. The journal article2 announced that Canon had completed the world's first3 3.2 megapixel SPAD sensor.

SPAD sensors employ a technology known as "photon counting4", in which light particles (photons) that enter each individual pixel are counted. When even a single photon enters a pixel, it is instantly amplified approximately 1 million times and output as an electrical signal. The signal readout of CMOS sensors, which measure the amount of light that reaches the pixel within a given time, inevitably contains noise that diminishes image quality. However, signal readout of SPAD sensors is free of noise as every single photon can be digitally counted. In addition, SPAD sensors can detect, with extremely high accuracy, the moment when photons reach the pixels, making possible accurate measurement of a subject's distance and speed. Leveraging these characteristics, SPAD sensors hold great potential for use in a wide variety of applications including autonomous driving, medical diagnostic imaging and scientific measurement.

Going forward, Canon will continue to contribute to the safety and security of society by leveraging the advantages of SPAD sensors, including high resolution that surpasses full HD, high sensitivity even with minimal ambient light, and fast response, in such Canon products as network cameras for security purposes.

1 Established in 1997 in honor of Walter Kosonocky, the inventor of the charge-coupled device (CCD), a component used in such devices as digital cameras.
