Rangefinder film cameras

Seiki Kogaku 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. Production began with the Hansa Canon on the Leica III format through WWII. 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.
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 US manufacturer Bell & Howell between 1961–1976 and a few Canon products were sold in the US under the Bell & Howell brand e.g. Canon 7 Rangefinder, Canon EX-EE, and the Canon TX.

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.
In 1969 Canon introduced an economy camera/lens system where the rear three elements 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. Canon offered four lens options: 35mm f/3.5, 50mm f/1.8, 95mm f/3.5, and 1255mm 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 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The EF lens mount standard superseded FD-mounts in 1987.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
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.

NoteJet

Beginning in Spring 1993, Canon produced a series of notebooks with integrated inkjet printers called NoteJet. The initial price for the first-model NoteJet was U.S. $2,499. The NoteJet lineup was eventually discontinued, and computers belonging to the series are valued by collectors.
Canon printers are supplied with Canon Advanced Printing Technology, a printer driver software-stack developed by Canon. The company claims that its use of data compression reduces their printer's memory requirement, good quality compared to conventional laser printers, and also claim that it increases the data transfer rate when printing high-resolution graphics.
Canon refers to inkjet printers as bubblejets, hence the frequent BJC-prefix.
In Japan, the models are denoted with a trailing “i”, whereas in the rest of the world they are denoted with a leading “i”. While the 50i corresponds to the i70, for all other corresponding models the numerical model numbers are identical.
The “X” denotes models sold under special dispensation by retail outles in Europe.
Since about 2005 Canon introduced a numbering scheme for some whereby the least significant digit signifies the geographic region the device is sold in. This leads to a large number of models, all belonging to the same family, but possibly incompatible to some degree, and also makes it difficult to ascertain whether a device is unique or part of an existing family. The software driver filename will often use the family designation.
Some MP devices have fax capability.
R=remote
The DS700 and DS810 are inkjet printers; all the other models are thermal dye-sublimation printers using ALPS technology.

EF and EF-S line

See Canon EF lenses for the product line-up.
See Canon EF-S lenses for the product line-up.
EF-S lenses are built for APS-C 1.6x crop sensors, so it will only work with models that use this sensor size, such as: Canon EOS Digital Rebel series, and newer cameras in the prosumer Canon EOS Digital series. When EF-S lenses are used on a 35mm camera, the back element will hit the mirror assembly or cause massive amounts of vignetting since the sensor is bigger than the image produced by the lens.

FD line

See Canon FD lenses for the product line-up.

FL line

See Canon FL lenses for the product line-up.

Rangefinder line

Note: Even though the tilt-shift and dedicated macro lenses are designated TS-E and MP-E respectively, these lenses are still compatible with the EF mount.
