Cameras Rangefinder film cameras
Seiki Kogaku (now Canon) began to develop and subsequently to produce rangefinder cameras with the Kwanon prototype in 1933, based on the Leica II 35mm camera, with separate rangefinder and view finder systems (3 windows). Production began with the Hansa Canon on the Leica III format through World War II. Post war, Canon resumed production of pre-war designs in early 1946 with the JII viewfinder and the S1 rangefinder. But in late 1946 they introduced the SII which departed from the Leica design by offering a combined viewfinder/rangefinder system, reducing the windows on the front of the camera to two. However, in most other respects these cameras remained visually similar to the Leica III.
Kwanon (1933) Nippon Kogaku (now Nikon) provided Seiki Kogaku with funding, Nikkor lenses, rangefinders, and technical assistance Canon (1936) Known today as the "Original Canon" The viewfinder moved to the top of the camera, differing from the Leica Hansa Canon (1936) Omiya Trading Co marketed original Canon with the Hansa name above the Canon name on the top Canon S (1939) Standard model. The word "Hansa" disappeared from the brand name, and was replaced with just "Canon" Canon NS (1939) New Standard. A Canon S without the slow shutter speeds Canon J (1939) J stands for Junior a non-rangefinder model. Canon J II (1946) Similar if not the same as prewar cameras Canon S (1946) Similar if not the same as prewar cameras Canon S II (1946) A redesign with combined range finder and viewfinder functions – two windows Canon II B (1949) Canon II C (1950) Canon III (1951) Canon IV (1951) Canon III A (1951) Canon IV S (1952) Canon II A (1952) Canon II D (1952) Canon IV SB (1952) Canon II AF (1953) Canon II F (1953) Canon II AX (1953) Canon II S (1954) Canon IV Sb2 (1954) Canon II S2 (1955) Canon II D2 (1955) Canon II F2 (1955)
In 1956, Canon departed from the Leica II Style and developed a more contemporary look, along with a Contax style self-timer level to the left of the lens mount. This was the first Canon camera with a swing-open camera back for film loading. Upper end models had a new three-mode viewfinders and winding triggers.

Canon partnered with U.S. manufacturer Bell & Howell between 1961 and 1976 and a few Canon products were sold under the Bell & Howell brand e.g. Canon 7 Rangefinder, Canon EX-EE, and the Canon TX.
SLR cameras (See also:Template:Table of Canon SLR)
Canonflex SLR Canon developed and produced the Canon R lens mount for film SLR cameras in 1959. The FL lens mount replaced R-mounts in 1964. Canonflex (1959) – Planned as Canon's first professional-class SLR camera body, but it was not successful. Available with builtin motor-drive option (not detachable). Canonflex R2000 (1960) – An upgrade with 1/2000 shutter speed (up from 1/1000) Canonflex RP (1960) – simplified Canonflex without the interchangeable prism/viewer Canonflex RM (1962) – A redesign of the RP with builtin metering and a lower profile prism. Offered with an f/1.2 58mm lens option
Details
FL-mount SLR Canon developed and produced the Canon FL lens-mount standard for film SLR cameras from 1964 to replace the Canon R lens-mount standard. The FD lens mount standard replaced FL-mounts in 1971. Canon FX (1964) Canon FP (1964) Canon Pellix (1965) Canon FT QL (1966) Canon Pellix QL (1966) Canon TL (1968)
EE-mount SLR In 1969 Canon introduced an economy camera/lens system where the rear three elements (in two groups) were built-on-to the camera, and several front element options could be interchanged. This had been used by Zeiss-Ikon in their mid-level cameras of their Contaflex series, and by Kodak in early interchangeable lenses for the top-end Retina series (later going to full lenses). Canon offered four lens options: 35mm f/3.5, 50mm f/1.8, 95mm f/3.5, and 125mm f/3.5.
Through the lens metering was center weighted and automatic exposure was shutter speed priority. Only two cameras were offered and the line was not successful.
Canon EXEE (1969) Canon EX Auto (1972) improved auto flash features
FD-mount SLR Canon developed and produced the Canon FD lens mount standard for film SLR cameras from 1971 to replace the FL lens mount standard. The FD mount had two variants – original lenses used a breechlock collar to mount whilst later versions used a standard bayonet twist lock with a short twist action. The EF lens mount standard superseded FD-mounts in 1987. Canon ceased to produce FD-mount cameras in 1994.
F series Canon F-1 (1971) – Reputed as Canon's first successful professional-class SLR camera body. The 1959 Canonflex professional camera system (above) failed and was down-featured for the consumer market. Canon FTb (1971) Canon FTbn (1973) Canon EF (1973) Canon TLb (1974) Canon TX (1975) Canon F-1n (1976) Canon New F-1 (1981)

EOS In 1987, Canon introduced the EOS Single-lens reflex camera system along with the EF lens-mount standard to replace the 16-year-old FD lens-mount standard; EOS became the sole SLR camera-system used by Canon . Canon also used EOS for its digital SLR cameras. All current film and digital SLR cameras produced by Canon use the EOS autofocus system. Canon introduced this system in 1987 along with the EF lens mount standard. The last non-EOS based SLR camera produced by Canon, the Canon T90 of 1986, is widely regarded as the template for the EOS line of camera bodies, although the T90 employed the older FD lens-mount standard.

Widely used in studios or as a "backup body" for professionals, as well as experienced amateurs). EOS-3 (1998) - Brought fantastic innovations (such as 45-point eye focus control) and was considered the pinnacle of the prosumer category, just below the 1 series. EOS A2 / EOS A2E (1992) - North American version of the famous EOS 5. EOS RT (1989) - Special semi-pro model with fixed translucent mirror (pellicle mirror). EOS 620 (1987) - Launched alongside the first EOS (the 650), the 620 was the variant aimed at the most demanding and professional users before the existence of the classic EOS-1.
Intermediate (The famous "2-digit series" or "Elan line". They offer the traditional two dials for independent speed and aperture control and robust features, but focused on the advanced amateur). EOS ELAN 7NE / EOS ELAN 7N (2004) EOS ELAN 7E / 7 (2000) EOS IX (1996) - The "Premium / Intermediate" version of the defunct APS film format, made with a metal alloy body.
