Chronology of cameras Canon
The first cameras marketed by Canon were heavily inspired by Leica. Their silhouette remained largely the same until the mid-1950s, with the arrival of the VT. These are 35mm cameras with interchangeable lenses. Some models have a non-standard mount for which only one lens was available. Most of these models are rangefinders. Slow speeds are adjusted using an independent dial located on the front face.

Starting from 1952, some models were synchronized for magnesium flash, and a few years later for electronic flash. The synchronization device is the subject of patent No. US2643597 filed in 1950 (it was filed in Japan in 1948) and the inventor is Hiroshi Suzukawa. The uniqueness lies in the synchronization being done through a rail fixed on the side of the camera.
