Canon provides imaging, optical, and industrial products, such as lenses, cameras, scanners, medical equipment, printers, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. In April 1964, Eastman Kodak announced a new 8mm film standard: Super 8. This standard had a larger image size than regular 8, and the film was contained in an easy-to-handle cartridge. The new standard severely impacted other manufacturers, leading others including Canon to develop its first Super 8 model: the Zoom 518 Super 8. This camera was the first movie camera to use ABS on its exterior, which later became standard.

The Brownie Reflex 20 is a twin-lens reflex style box camera from the 1950s. It can be described as a pseudo twin lens reflex camera, but not a true TLR because the top lens is just part of the viewfinder and does not aid focussing. It has a moulded plastic body with a large brilliant waist level viewfinder with a hood. The impact of this cheap, reliable little camera on American life and eventually on the whole world is difficult to overstate.
