70 millones de Canon EOS por el mundo

[vigape]

Canon ha anunciado hoy que va a conmemorar la fabricación de más de 70 millones de cámaras Canon EOS desde que se iniciase su producción en 1987, tanto analógicas como digitales.






Canon ha anunciado hoy el logro de un importante hito en la fabricación de cámaras, superando la producción de 70 millones de cámaras EOS de objetivos intercambiables, contando tanto los modelos digitales como de película. La serie EOS fue lanzada al mercado en 1987 y el nuevo hito de fabricación es el más rápidamente alcanzado en la historia de EOS, ya que la cifra de 70 millones se ha conseguido en tan solo un año y cuatro meses después de llegar en octubre de 2012 a los 60 millones de cámaras EOS. Entre las cámaras Canon que han contribuido durante el año pasado a conseguir este importante hito se encuentran la EOS 70D, la cual incorpora la tecnología Dual Pixel CMOS AF, así como la pequeña y potente EOS 100D, que combina un cuerpo increíblemente compacto y ligero con unas prestaciones extremadamente altas.
Canon tiene el compromiso de convertirse de por vida en el socio para la imagen de sus clientes, por lo que seguirá fabricando productos innovadores que posibiliten a los fotógrafos, cualquiera que sea su nivel de conocimiento y experiencia, captar y compartir sus historias con la mejor calidad posible.

Production of Canon EOS SLR cameras began in 1987 at Canon Inc.’s Fukushima Plant (now
Fukushima Canon Inc.) with the EOS 650, later moving to such production bases as Oita
Canon Inc. and Canon Inc., Taiwan. Following the spread of digital SLR cameras in the early
2000s, production rapidly increased, surpassing the 60-million-unit mark in October 2012 and
now, approximately one year and four months later, reaching the 70-million-unit threshold.

EOS, which stands for “Electro Optical System,” also carries the name of the Greek goddess
of the dawn. Introduced in March 1987 as a new generation of AF SLR cameras, EOS cameras
were the world’s first to incorporate an electronic mount system enabling complete electronic
control not only between the lens and body, but throughout the entire camera system.

Based on the key concepts of high speed and ease of use, EOS-series cameras, including the
top-of-the-line professional-model EOS-1 released in 1989 and the popular compact,
lightweight EOS Kiss (EOS Rebel XS or EOS 500 in other regions) introduced in 1993,
actively incorporate innovative technologies and have gained acceptance from a wide range of
users. As digital SLR cameras gained increasing popularity starting in 2000, Canon developed
such advanced technologies as its proprietary CMOS sensors and high-performance DIGIC
digital image processors, as well as an extensive lineup of EF lenses, in an effort to fulfill the
company’s new key concepts of high speed, ease-of-use, and high image quality. Currently,
Canon offers a broad product lineup that serves the needs of all levels of users.

Among the new Canon cameras that contributed to the realization of the 70-million-unit
production milestone were the EOS 70D, featuring innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF
autofocus technology, and the entry-level EOS Kiss X7 (EOS Rebel SL1 or EOS 100D in
other regions), which combines a ground-breaking compact, lightweight body design with
advanced basic performance. Additionally, in September 2012, Canon added the EOS M
compact-system camera to its product lineup and, at the end of 2013, launched the EOS M2,
featuring significantly enhanced AF performance, which has been warmly received by the
market.

EF lenses for Canon EOS-series interchangeable-lens cameras are also on track to realize a
major milestone as cumulative production is scheduled to pass the 100-million-unit mark in
2014.

Canon will continue to refine its diverse imaging technologies based on its core optical
technologies, striving to produce exceptional and reliable lenses and cameras that cater to the
varying needs of photographers—from first-time users to advanced amateurs and
professionals—while contributing to expanding the culture of photographic and video
imaging.
