Canon is making headlines again – and this time, it's about compact cameras. According to reports from Japan's News Switch (Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun), the imaging giant plans to increase its compact camera production to 1.5 times last year's volume in 2026.
Why does that matter? Because in 2025, Canon's compact camera sales doubled compared to 2024 – fueled by high-demand models like the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III – a camera that became a viral sensation and was almost impossible to find in many regions.
