Since its debut, Canon has continuously developed its diverse imaging technologies and expanded its EOS system, which now comprises a total of 21 EOS series cameras and 104 RF and EF lenses, to enable visual expression through still photography, video, and even Virtual Reality content. As Canon has gained support from a wide range of users over the years, we finally achieved a significant milestone with the production of 150 million RF and EF lenses in 2021. As one of the world's most successful camera brands, Canon has maintained its No.1 market share of the global market in interchangeable lens digital cameras for 19 consecutive years since 2003. Lastly, please rest assured that Canon remains committed to constantly refine its fully integrated imaging technologies to craft a great photography experience and high-quality images for Thai and worldwide users. We will steadily expand our EOS R system product line-up, and we are confident that the launch of EOS R7 and EOS R10, as well as the new RF-S lenses, will comprehensively meet the needs of increasingly diverse users and enable them to realize more of the revolutionized performance of the EOS R system.”
Ms. Netnarin Chancharassuk, Director - Consumer Imaging Information Product Group of Canon Marketing (Thailand) Co., Ltd. said, “Canon launched the EOS system in 1987 with the philosophy of creating camera products that offer speed, ease of use, and high image quality, and we entered the mirrorless camera market in earnest by releasing the EOS R series in 2018 under the concept 'Reimage Optical Excellence' which was very well received by Thai consumers. The EOS R3 won ‘Best Camera Innovation’ and EOS R5 C won ‘Best Professional 8K Hybrid Camera’ while RF14-35mm f/4L IS USM and RF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM won 'Best Full Frame Wide Angle Zoom Lens' and 'Best Macro Lens', as well.”
“With its business development plan in 2022, Canon takes another step forward by expanding its mirrorless camera lineup in the EOS R system, based on APS-C sensors that deliver performance in terms of speed, continuous shooting, and high-quality video recording to comprehensively meet the needs of different user groups. As highlighted in today’s launch event, the Canon EOS R7 camera is designed for serious camera users who require high-performance cameras, capable of high-speed continuous shooting with an agile and accurate autofocus system for sports, automotive, bird, and wildlife photography.
The key visual reference for Canon EOS R7 features images of a Raptor, a predatory bird with instinctual power, speed, and accuracy in swooping down on its prey, mirroring the precise focusing speed and continuous shooting of Canon EOS R7 with 32.5-megapixel resolution at up to 30 frames per second. Additionally, the ‘R’ in Raptor matches with Canon's EOS R Series”
“The Canon EOS R10 targets new users who require a lightweight camera offering high quality images and automatic features. The new SCN modes enable them to showcase their creativity, ranging from the Panorama mode, the Focus Bracketing mode to the Panning mode that allows users to take professional panning shots as well as the vertical video recording function, all allowing for more convenience to video content creators on social media.”
“The two new lenses are designed to be entry-level lenses for the EOS R users to achieve greater performance. The Canon RF-S 18-45mm F/4.5-6.3 IS STM is a standard wide-angle zoom lens suitable for capturing impressive moments daily while the Canon RF-S 18-150mm F/3.5-6.3 IS STM is an ideal travel companion not only for capturing everyday moments but also for long-distance photography, perfect for landscape, sports, bird and wildlife.”
Canon plans promotional campaigns to celebrate the release of the Canon EOS R7 and EOS R10 as well as many Canon RF-S lenses to offer best value to Canon customers. Various online and offline marketing activities such as First Touch on Tour, EOS on Air, EOS Academy, and many more, including sponsorship support for our business partners in Thailand, will be launched to promote photography culture as a part of everyday life and will enable Canon to get even closer to consumers.
