Although Canon is best recognised for its high-quality DSLRs and DSLR lens portfolio, it is now the market leader in the camera area. Canon was the first business to embed a microcomputer in a camera, the first to develop a camera with eye-controlled AF, and the first to make an image-stabilized lens affordable to the general public.
Nikon has been Canon's main opponent for many years, with the two imaging giants competing in both consumer and professional camera markets. While Canon has long held the top rank, the Nikon Corporation is older–it was founded in 1917 by three major optics manufacturers and soon rose to become a major optical company.
