Setting the standard in technical innovation and optical excellence, Canon is once again recognised by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) by winning six prestigious accolades spanning across its mirrorless and DSLR camera bodies and lenses. Despite this year’s unprecedented challenges, Canon has maintained its commitment to introduce products that push the boundaries and open new possibilities for photographers and filmmakers.
Redefining mirrorless with the Canon EOS R5, Canon picked up the prestigious EISA Camera Innovation Award. In addition to this, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III earned itself the EISA Professional Camera Award, enhancing its reputation as a fiercely sought-after imaging powerhouse amongst professional photographers worldwide, while the widely regarded Canon EOS 90D took home the EISA APS-C Camera Award. Apart from the cameras, four of Canon’s RF lens series — Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM, Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM and Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM — were also recognized by EISA.
These accolades reflect Canon’s longstanding heritage in delivering optical excellence, driven by its commitment to research and development, and guided by customer feedback. Every product demonstrates Canon’s continued support for both DSLR and mirrorless systems, offering photographers and filmmakers a competitive, full-choice line-up that makes the ‘impossible’ possible.
