Canon Maintains No.1 Share of global Interchangeable-Lens Digital Camera Market

Canon Celebrates its 14th Consecutive Year of No. 1 Market share in Global Interchangeable-Lens Digital Cameras
Canon Celebrates its 14th Consecutive Year of No. 1 Market share in Global Interchangeable-Lens Digital Cameras

MELVILLE, N.Y., March 29, 2017 – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced today that its parent company, Canon Inc., announced that the Company’s interchangeable-lens digital cameras have maintained the No.1 share of the global market for 14 consecutive years from 2003 to 2016.

Canon Inc., which develops the key components featured in its interchangeable-lens cameras—CMOS image sensors, image processors and interchangeable lenses — employs these cutting-edge technologies across its entire product lineup, from entry-level models that achieve high-image quality with easy operation to professional-use flagship cameras, effectively responding to the needs of a wide range of users.

In 2003, the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS Digital Rebel. 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 epoch-making products, including the professional-model EOS-1D series and the EOS 5D series which paved the way for digital SLR video recording.

During 2016, Canon introduced an impressive lineup of interchangeable-lens camera products that supported the Company’s achievement of a 14th consecutive year at the top of the global market. In March, the Company released the EOS 80D for advanced-amateur users, which features excellent still image quality and superb operability when shooting video. Then in April, the Company released its flagship model, the EOS-1D X Mark II, ideal for sport photography thanks to its 14 frame-per-second continuous shooting capability. The EOS 5D Mark IV, capable of 4K video, was then released in September. Additionally, the Company’s interchangeable-lens camera lineup expanded with the introduction of the high-end EOS M5 compact-system camera in November.

Canon will continue to respond to the needs of its wide range of customers by further bolstering its lineup in 2017. Already this year, the Company launched three new interchangeable-lens cameras equipped with the highly accurate autofocus technology, Dual Pixel CMOS AF – the EOS M6 compact-system camera, the EOS 77D and EOS Rebel T7i.

CeBIT is one of the world's foremost international information and communications technology expos in the BtoB solutions field, featuring such technologies as the IoT, big data, AI and robotics. This year, Canon will operate its booth within the Japan Pavilion, managed by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO). This marks the first year in which Japan is participating as a Partner Country, with a total of 118* Japanese companies and organizations in attendance.

Designed around the concept of "Create a New World with Japan —Society5.0, Another Perspective—," the pavilion will be divided into three zones, with the Canon booth located in the Life/Office/Society zone. This zone will feature home and lifestyle consumer experiences as well as products and services that can qualitatively transform the way people work in offices and systems and services to support professionals.

Canon, aiming to expand into the security industry, will exhibit a variety of imaging solutions at its booth, focusing on network cameras, across three scenes: stadiums, retail facilities and urban surveillance. The stadium monitoring scenario will feature the AXIS Q1659 (to be released in late March 2017), the first jointly developed product from Canon and Axis Communications, as an ultra-high-resolution imaging solution for monitoring roads, urban areas and stadiums.

Canon's People Counter video analysis software (released in October 2016), which is capable of counting large crowds of people; the VB-M50B network camera (released in April 2016), which excels in low-light imaging; and XProtect®, the IP camera monitoring software developed by Milestone Systems, will be on display as solutions for retail facilities.

Finally, the ME20F-SH ultra-high-sensitivity multipurpose camera (released in December 2015) will be on display as an urban surveillance solution for such environments as airports, harbors and train stations, where clear nighttime surveillance is becoming increasingly important.
