Just a day after Nikon Corp. released a new series of pro-class digital SLR cameras(DSLR) Canon also unveiles a new lineup of digital cameras including high-end SLRs (DSLR’s) and more.
According to Tokyo-based research group BCN, Canon has lost market share to Nikon in the last couple of years among customers in Japan. However, Canon still leads the industry and maintains a substantial lead over Nikon in global sales when it comes to midprice as well as high-end SLR and DSLR cameras. Currently the most anticipated DSLR by Canon in the pro segment is the EOS-1Ds Mark III. The top-of-the-line Canon features a 21.1-megapixel resolution and five-frames-per-second continuous shooting.
