Canon celebrates 23rd consecutive year of #1 share of global interchangeable-lens digital camera market:

Canon U.S.A., Inc. today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc. is celebrating that the company’s interchangeable-lens digital cameras (digital SLR and mirrorless cameras) have maintained the No. 1 shareFootnote1 of the global market for 23 consecutive years from 2003 through 2025.

Canon’s EOS series of interchangeable‑lens digital cameras is an imaging system based on the basic concept of “Speed, Comfort, and High Image Quality,” for which the company has developed proprietary key components, including CMOS image sensors, the DIGIC image processors, and interchangeable lenses.

Putting together a wide‑ranging product lineup—from high‑performance flagship models that are highly trusted by professionals to entry‑level models that allow users to enjoy full‑scale shooting with easy operation, as well as a rich selection of 113Footnote2 RF and EF lenses that enable a wealth of creative expression—Canon continues to support the diverse needs of customers.

During the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS Digital Rebel / EOS 300D / EOS Kiss Digital (product name varies by region) in September 2003. By launching this groundbreaking camera, which was competitively priced and featured a compact, lightweight design, Canon spurred growth in the digital SLR market, capturing the top share of the global market and heralding the age of digital SLR cameras.

Canon has since continued to introduce innovative products, including the professional model EOS-1D series, as well as the EOS 5D series, which played a leading role in popularizing video recording with digital SLR cameras.

In October 2018, the company launched the EOS R System, which further expands the boundaries of visual expression, followed by the full‑frame mirrorless EOS R5—the world’s firstFootnote3 camera to feature 8K video recording, released in July 2020, and the flagship EOS R1, released in November 2024, which combines advanced autofocus performance, high image quality, and high reliability to meet the demanding needs of professionals. Canon continues to pursue new possibilities in imaging expression.

In 2025, Canon expanded the EOS R System even further by releasing the APS‑C mirrorless EOS R50 V (May 2025), the first model in the new EOS V series that offers creative video functions, along with the full‑frame mirrorless EOS R6 Mark III (November 2025), which condenses excellent shooting performance into a single camera to meet the wide‑ranging needs of advanced amateur users.

In addition, Canon released seven models of RF lensesFootnote4 in 2025. Through these continued efforts to enhance the EOS R System, Canon secured the No. 1 global market share for interchangeable‑lens digital cameras for the 23rd consecutive year since 2003Footnote1. Going forward, Canon will continue to refine its proprietary imaging technologies while bringing fulfillment and excitement to people’s daily lives as well as promoting the spread of photo and video culture by providing products, services, and solutions that meet its customers’ diverse needs.

As previously reported, Cosina will announce and display new Voigtlander lens prototypes at the 2026 CP+ show in Pacifico Yokohama starting February 26, 2026. Here is a recap of the new/upcoming lenses:

Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 lens Z/RF mount


  • Background: Part of the Nokton Classic series sold since 2004; previously available in VM mount and Sony E mount. These are two new variants as reference exhibits.
  • Design and Optics: “Octolender” style (likely “Voigtlander” or classic rendering); intentionally leaves some aberrations for a “tasteful” soft depiction at full aperture (f/1.4), transitioning to a crisp, modern look when stopped down. Creates beautiful, unique images distinct from high-performance lenses.
  • Focusing: Minimum focusing distance of 0.27m (27cm); suitable for a wide range of uses.
  • Electronics: Equipped with electronic contacts for in-camera focus assist functions, including EXIF data recording (transcribed as “childcare recording,” likely a mistranslation of metadata or focus aids).
  • Recommended For: Photographers seeking lenses that produce distinctive, non-standard images.
  • Other Notes: Prototype exhibits; hands-on available at CP+2026. Emphasizes enjoyment of dual rendering characteristics (soft wide-open, sharp stopped down).
  • Pictures:




Voigtlander Apo-Skopar 75mm f/2.8 lens VM mount


  • Design and Optics: Apochromatic (apo) design that reduces chromatic aberration (field color correction).
  • Size and Build: Compact size equivalent to a standard lens; overall length around 44mm; filter thread 43mm. Reduces viewfinder vignetting when attached to rangefinder cameras; highly portable.
  • Exterior: Aluminum construction, available in silver and black finishes.
  • Accessories: Includes a compact “Michibe-type” hood (likely a vented or bayonet hood).
  • Recommended For: Users seeking high-performance in a compact form factor.
  • Other Notes: Prototype exhibit; hands-on available at CP+2026.
  • Pictures:



Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar 90mm f/4 close focus lens VM mount


  • Design and Optics: High-performance apochromatic (apo) design that reduces axial chromatic aberration (initial deviation); bears the “Apo-Lanthar” name indicating premium optical quality.
  • Focusing: Minimum shooting distance of 0.5m; features a tactile click at the 0.7m rangefinder linkage range for easy identification by feel.
  • Size and Build: Aluminum exterior, available in silver and black. Approximately 1cm longer than the Apo-Skopar 75mm but still very compact for a 90mm lens.
  • Accessories: Hood available (details not specified).
  • Recommended For: Users wanting a compact lens with Apo-Lanthar-level performance.
  • Other Notes: Prototype exhibit; hands-on available at CP+2026.
  • Pictures:



Voigtlander UV filters

  • Function: Absorbs UV rays below 417nm with a sharp cut-off, preventing color shifts; effective as a protective filter, especially for cameras sensitive to UV affecting color reproduction.
  • Build: High-quality flat-polished glass to avoid impacting lens performance; water-repellent coating for easy cleaning.
  • Sizes and Variants: Available in diameters from 34mm to 82mm; silver finish options from 34mm to 58mm. Knurling and finish match Voigtlander lenses for aesthetic consistency.
  • Other Notes: Prototype exhibit; blocks UV at the light entry point for better effect.
