Canon might have been in the camera game since 1933 but the now-legendary EOS range of cameras – and matching EF lenses didn't launch until March 1987. If it were a person, it'd be a millennial!
The EOS stands for Electrical Optical System, though it is not a coincidence it is also named after Eos, the goddess of dawn. The debut camera was the Canon EOS 650, which launched alongside the EF 50mm f/1.8 lens. In the 36 years since Canon has gone on to manufacture a jaw-dropping 110 million EOS cameras and 160 million EF and RF mount lenses.
