You have seen the Canon EOS Rebel already. In fact, this camera has been discussed lots of times and it is getting lots of airtime online as well thanks to Canon’s marketing team and the camera’s capabilities.

This is a favorite among those who love to watch television because of its many TV ads. This is a digital SLR camera armed with a 3 inch LCD screen and EF-S 18055mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens.

Although this particular camera from Canon is deemed to be the most popular Canon model these days, other Canon cameras are doing great as well.

In fact, according to a study done by the uber popular photo sharing website Flckr, Canon is truly the no.1 camera brand that Flckr users use.

Take a look at the statistics:

You can easily see that camera phones are giving camera manufacturers a run for their money but hey, Canon is doing well and this means they must be doing something very good.

Canon Digital SLRs, or more famously, the EOS line has one of the largest lens support with hundreds of lenses backing it up and still counting. Backed up by Canon’s lens technology and quality even before the single lens reflex cameras went digital, solidifies Canon’s lead in the market against other DSLR makers like Nikon. And although reputed for producing high-quality, and high-priced professional lenses, Canon has also produced value lenses at the same quality true to the company’s reputation.

The 50mm f1.8 II takes the popularity top spot on digital-photography-school.com for all canon lenses. And being one of the cheapest canon lenses in the market today, it’s a great tool for the budget-conscious photographer. Priced about $80, you are truly getting value for your money.

The 50mm f1.8 II is one of the fastest lenses in Canon’s optics, making it great for indoor and low-light conditions, or when flash photography is not applicable. Build is primarily plastic right to the mount (hence the price), this lens is also one of the lightest out there.

Being far from perfect, there are certain drawbacks to the 50mm f1.8 III. Autofocus is driven by way of a micro motor within the lens body. Focusing isn’t exactly the fastest, but adequate and, somehow, loud. You might just want to leave this at home when planning on shooting wildlife. Sharpness works great at f1.8 but works well at f2.8 and smaller. But with just five non-rounded aperture blades, this leads to poor image quality on out of focus areas on the image.

Then again, considering Canon’s price, this lens is still great. And the slight drawbacks can be overlooked.

The 2009 Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting (RSNA 2009), Canon USA, Inc. will celebrate the achievement of a Canon Inc. medical equipment manufacturing of the production of Canon CXDI Digital Radiography (DR) systems which has surpassed the 10,000 unit mark. The accomplishment was reached over a period of 12 years, beginning with the launch of the Canon CXDI-11 DR System in December 1997. Over the years, the systems have contributed to an expanded range of applications for digital radiography in fields outside of conventional medicine, including the examination of animals, such as the checking of leg injuries on racing horses, the inspection of artifacts and other remains at archaeological excavation sites, and assisting rescue organizations with natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the earthquake in Pakistan. Improving its lineup of systems, Canon plans to introduce the CXDI-50RF1, the world’s first portable dynamic and static sensor that will be capable of viewing dynamic and capturing static X-ray images. The imaging area is 17 x 14 inches and it will be able to accomodate the standard static X-ray image capture of the chest area and extremities. It will also enable 30 frames per second fluroscopy to observe the dynamics of the organs. Multi-frame radiographic imaging up to 15 fps is also available. In fluoroscopy mode, the sensor unit will be able to be used in a docking station, similar to a cassette tray, which is equipped with an active air cooling system. The control software will provide advanced image processing and all the standard DICOM functions while acquiring and displaying smooth images in both radiographic and fluoroscopic modes. With the ongoing production of filmless X-ray procedures at healthcare facilities and provision of strong support for monitor diagnosis, the Company intends to contribute to improved diagnostic accuracy and more efficient examination procedures.
