Canon Celebrates 22nd Consecutive Year of No. 1 Share of Global Interchangeable-Lens Digital Camera Market
Melville, NY, Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canon U.S.A., Inc. today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc. is celebrating that the company's interchangeable-lens digital cameras (digital SLR and mirrorless cameras) have maintained the No. 1 share1 of the global market for 22 consecutive years from 2003 to 2024.
Canon's EOS series of interchangeable lens digital cameras is an imaging system based on the basic concept of 'Speed, Comfort, and High Image Quality,' for which the company has developed proprietary key components, including CMOS image sensors, the DIGIC image processors, and interchangeable lenses. Putting together a wide-ranging product lineup—from high-performance flagship models that are highly trusted by professionals to entry-level models that allow users to enjoy full-scale shooting with easy operation, as well as a rich selection of over 1202 RF and EF series lenses that make possible a wealth of creative expression—Canon continues to support the diverse needs of customers.
Throughout its 22-year history, the EOS series has led the market with a range of outstanding models. During the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS Kiss Digital (EOS Digital Rebel or EOS 300D in other regions) in September 2003. By launching this groundbreaking camera, which was competitively priced and featured a compact, lightweight design, Canon spurred growth in the digital SLR market, capturing the top share of the global market and heralding the age of digital SLR cameras.
Canon has continued to release further innovative cameras by launching the professional-model EOS-1D series and the EOS 5D series, which paved the way for digital SLR video recording. The company's desire to further expand the boundaries of visual expression led to its next-generation EOS R SYSTEM, launched in October 2018, that includes the full-frame mirrorless camera EOS R5—the first camera to feature 8K video recording3—released in July 2020 and the EOS R3 in November 2021, which features tracking of fast-moving subjects and continuous shooting performance. In addition, it launched the EOS VR SYSTEM, designed to record video for virtual reality content, in December 2021.
In 2024, Canon managed to secure the No. 1 share of the global market once again for the 22nd consecutive year by further enhancing its lineup of EOS R Series cameras and lenses.
For cameras, Canon released the EOS R5 Mark II (August 2024), a full-frame mirrorless camera that combines the capability to cover shooting in a wide range of scenarios with a single camera with mobility, and the EOS R1 (November 2024), the first flagship model of the EOS R SYSTEM. Both models featured the new image processing system 'Accelerated Capture' and included diverse video shooting functions accumulated through the CINEMA EOS SYSTEM for achieving high-speed analysis and high-speed shooting.
As for lenses, in 2024 Canon expanded its L-series lineup of large-aperture single-focus lenses, which contribute to full-fledged video production, and added 15 models of RF lenses4, including two types of lenses that facilitate making 3D VR videos to meet the growing demand for video and handle 3D imaging.
Going forward, Canon will continue to refine its proprietary imaging technologies while bringing fulfillment and excitement to people's daily lives as well as promoting the spread of photo and video culture by providing products, services, and solutions that meet its customers' diverse needs.

Cost-Saving Air Filtration for Ontario Schools: Expert Insights from Camfil Canada Air Quality Specialist Joshua Guthrie
Toronto, ON, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a crucial role in creating a healthy and productive learning environment for students and staff in Ontario schools. Camfil Canada has launched a new article and accompanying video focusing on how schools in Ontario can save money on air filtration costs while improving indoor air quality. The resources are designed to help school boards and administrators tackle rising operational costs in a practical, effective way. The article, How Canadian Schools Can Save Money and Create Healthier Learning Environments , highlights the growing financial pressures faced by Canadian schools and introduces innovative ways to cut expenses related to HVAC systems and air filter maintenance. The video further supports this message by detailing real-world examples of cost-saving strategies implemented in Ontario schools, including the use of advanced air filters with high dust-holding capacities and energy-efficient designs. 'As school boards across Canada face funding pressures and seek to decrease operational costs, they could be overlooking an expense that could achieve significant savings for schools,' said Joshua Guthrie, Life Science Segment Leader and NAFA Certified Air Filtration Specialist at Camfil Canada, 'The type of air filter used could be costing Canadian schools far too much in terms of energy consumption, labour for changeouts and maintenance, and filter replacement costs.' Key topics covered include how premium filters can extend service life, reduce waste, lower energy consumption, and decrease overall HVAC system strain. Notably, Camfil Canada's team emphasizes on-site testing and Life Cycle Cost analysis (LCC) as essential tools for tailoring filtration solutions to a specific school's needs. The article also sheds light on the impressive results achieved by some Ontario school boards, where transitioning to advanced filtration systems resulted in reduced filter replacement costs and significant energy savings. One Ontario school board, for instance, saved over $500,000 in filter costs alone by adopting Camfil's air filter solutions. To learn more about how school districts can save on energy costs while improving air quality in Ontario schools, read Camfil Canada's full article and watch the accompanying video.
