Canon Film Cameras

In nineteen thirty three Sabura Uchida the brother in law of Gor Yoshida set out the make a camera to rival the German models of the day. Then they came up with the name of “Kwanon” named after the Buddhist goddess of mercy. A few years then came the Canon trademark was registered. The name finally became Canon and it stuck.

In nineteen and seventy six Canon made the first microcomputer embedded camera, the Canon AE-1. This type of Canon film cameras was made for the beginner and amateur photographers that now could take decent pictures. This was and is still very popular among amateurs because of the affordability and the quality of pictures it takes.

Through the years Canon film cameras came in different styles and designs. It introduced the fully automatic auto focus compact camera, the AF35M in the late seventies. A lot of other camera manufactures ignored this new market segment. These cameras were for the amateur and the big boys were just not interested.

Canon film cameras came out with the EOS650 in the late eighties, another innovative camera the big camera manufacturing companies ignored. These auto focus SLR cameras were just another shift in the strategy of Canon.

During the early nineties, Canon film cameras came out with the EOS-1 series of cameras and many people were shocked at the design of the camera. Once again Canon was the first to make a curved camera, no more of the box looking cameras. Years came and went and Canon was still at the drawing board to make a better camera for the amateur photographer.

Canon film cameras were the first to have eye controlled auto focus, zoom lens with image stabilization features, and a digital camera. In the late nineties, Canon film cameras add a new model called the Sureshot Del Sol camera, the world’s first solar powered camera. Large camera manufactures are realizing they better step up and make some better cameras as Canon is the leader.

There are Canon film cameras made just for the professional photographer. One is the EOS 50D that turns that amateur photographer into a professional one. It has a precise combination of high speed and quality. Some features include but not limited to are the APS-C sized 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, an improved ISO capabilities up to 12800 for uncompromised shooting even in the lowest light situations. A clear view monitor, supercharged live view function with a face detection live mode, so forth and so on.

Many professional Canon film cameras can come with interchangeable lens. These types of professional cameras can be priced up to thousands and thousands of dollars. They have all the stops and whistles need for the professional photographer. For that amateur or just someone that wants good quality pictures, prices might start out at one hundred dollars and go up. It just all depends on the pocket book and what you really want the Canon film cameras to do for you.
