Have you noticed a particularly striking image in a movie or TV program recently? Perhaps you were impressed by how clearly a character stood out against a blurred background, or surprised at how a nighttime scene appeared sharp and true to life.
If so, there is a good chance the scene was shot with a Canon EOS digital SLR camera.

Today, professional movie and TV program directors around the world use the movie-shooting function of EOS cameras to produce their work. In Hollywood, the high image quality and ultra-mobility of EOS cameras have led these professionals to adopt digital SLR cameras in the production of movies and popular TV dramas.

The 35mm full-size image sensor Canon developed for EOS digital cameras has high light sensitivity, which enables bright and accurate image capture.

Since EOS cameras are small, lightweight and highly mobile compared with conventional movie and TV cameras, they can be used in a wider range of situations, giving free rein to a director's creative impulses. In addition, more than 60 lenses are available for use with EOS cameras to further expand the creative possibilities in the production of movies and TV programs.

Given that digital cameras have already made inroads into the movie industry, it is perhaps easy to forget that their history spans a brief 20 years. Compared with the 200-year history of film cameras, digital camera technology is still very much in its infancy.

Through new innovations, Canon is committed to meeting the ever-growing expectations for digital cameras.
