50 Years of the Canon SLR Camera
Tuesday, 6th January 2009
Canon has been making and selling SLR cameras for 50 years. Starting in 1959 with the Canoflex and continuing with the FI, AE-1, T90, EOS 650, EOS-1, EOS Rebel all the way up to Canon’s latest – the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
Canon’s history with 35mm single-lens reflex cameras began in May 1959, when Canon Inc. launched the Canonflex. Thereafter, the Company continued to introduce cameras that embodied solid technology and innovativeness, including the F-1, its first professional model (1971); the AE-1, the world’s first single-lens reflex camera with built-in CPU (1976); and the T90, a state-of-the-art T Series model(1986).
