THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Many Other DSLRs, Brands are also came into Existence like Nikon,
Canon, Sony, Pentax,…etc. are Making more number of Production sales in
present Market for Consumer Satisfaction by introducing different types
Range of DSLR’s.
The DSLR market is dominated by Japanese companies and the top five
manufacturers are Japanese: Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, and Sony. Other
manufacturers of DSLRs include Mamiya, Sigma, Leica (German), and
Hasselblad (Swedish).
In 2007, Canon edged out Nikon with 41% of worldwide sales to the latter's
40%, followed by Sony and Olympus each with approximately 6% market
share.[30] In the Japanese domestic market, Nikon captured 43.3% to Canon's
39.9%, with Pentax a distant third at 6.3%.[31]
In 2008, Canon's and Nikon's offerings took the majority of sales.[32] In 2010,
Canon controlled 44.5% of the DSLR market, followed by Nikon with 29.8%
and Sony with 11.9%.[33]
For Canon and Nikon, digital SLRs are their biggest source of profits. For
Canon, their DSLRs brought in four times the profits from compact digital
cameras, while Nikon earned more from DSLRs and lenses than with any other
product.[34][35] Olympus and Panasonic have since exited the DSLR market
and now focus on producing mirrorless cameras.
In 2013, after a decade of double-digit growth, DSLR (along with MILC) sales
are down 15 percent. This may be due to some low-end DSLR users choosing to
use a smartphone instead. The market intelligence firm IDC predicts Nikon will
be out of business in five years if the trend continues. The market has
shifted from being driven by hardware to software, and camera manufacturers
have not been keeping up.[36]
To illustrate the trend, in September 2013 Olympus announced they would stop
development of DSLR cameras and will focus on the development of MILC
1937 to 1970
The origins of Canon date back to the founding of Precision Optical Instruments
Laboratory in Japan in 1937 by Takeshi Mitarai, Goro Yoshida, Saburo Uchida
and Takeo Maeda. During its early years the company did not have any
facilities to produce its own optical glass, and its first cameras incorporated
Nikkor lenses from Nippon Kogaku K.K. (the later Nikon Corporation).[6]
1970 to 2009
In 1971 Canon introduced the F-1, a high-end SLR camera, and the FD lens
range. In 1976 Canon launched the AE-1, the world’s first camera with an
embedded micro-computer.
In 1982 "Wildlife as Canon Sees It" print ads first appeared in National
Geographic magazine. Canon introduced the world’s first Inkjet printer using
bubble jet technology in 1985. Canon introduced Canon Electro-Optical System
(EOS) in 1987, named after the goddess of the dawn. EOS 650 autofocus SLR
camera is introduced. Also in 1987 the Canon Foundation was established. In
1988 Canon introduced 'Kyosei philosophy'.[8] The EOS 1 Flagship
Professional SLR line was launched in 1989.[9] In the same year the EOS RT,
the world's first AF SLR with a fixed, semi-transparent pellicle mirror, was
unveiled.
2010 to present
In 2010 Canon acquired Tereck Office Solutions, Inc.
In the third quarter of 2012, Canon's global market share in the sale of printers,
copiers and multifunction devices amounted to 20.90 percent.
In early 2013, Canon USA moved into a new $500 million headquarters in
Melville, New York.
COMPANY PROFILE

Digital cameras:-
Main articles: Canon PowerShot, Canon PowerShot G, Canon Digital IXUS,
Canon EOS, Canon EF lens mount, Canon EF-S lens mount, and Canon EF-M
lens mount
Canon has been manufacturing and distributing digital cameras since 1984,
starting with the RC-701. The RC series was followed by the PowerShot and
Digital IXUS series of digital cameras. Canon also developed the EOS series of
digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR) which includes high-end professional
models.

Digital copiers:-
Canon's largest division in terms of revenue is its multifunction copier division.
Canon distributes its consumer and home office image CLASS line though
retail outlets and professional grade image RUNNER series through subsidiary
Canon Solutions America and independent distributors. The professional grade
series ranges from small table tops to large digital presses.
Printers:-
For many years, Canon was the principal maker of the print engines found in
industry-standard laser printers. The first models of Apple LaserWriter and the
equivalent products made by HP used the Canon LBP-CX engine. The next
models (LaserWriter II series, LaserJet II series) used the Canon LBP-SX
engine. Later models used the Canon LBP-LX, LBP-EX, LBP-PX engines and
many other Canon print engines.
Current printers use the proprietary BJNP protocol (USB over IP port 8611).
Flash units:-
Computers:-
Canon introduced two MSX home computer models in 1983, the V-10 and the
V-20. Both offered just the minimum range of the MSX standards without any
additional features. The V-20 was able to receive shooting data from the T90
Canon camera with the Data Memory Back T90 expansion.
Canon also sold a Canon AS400 PC 640x480 color display computer based on
8086 processor using CPM or MSDOS. Options included a 5mb Hard Drive.
(shortly before release of the IBM PC).
Projectors:-
Canon produces a wide range of award-winning projectors.
