The company was founded in 1933 under the name 精 機 光学 研究所 (Seiki-kougaku-kenkyuujo or Precision Optical Equipment Laboratory) by Yoshida Goro and sister-in-law Uchida Saburo and funded by Takeshi Mitarai, a close friend of Uchida. The initial goal was to conduct research in the development of quality cameras. In June 1934 they released their first camera, Kwanon, named after the Goddess of compassion for Buddha. The following year the company changed its name to Canon because it was seen as more modern than the previous name.
Canon's main rivals include Nikon, Konica Minolta, Leica, Pentax, Olympus, Sony, Epson, Kodak, Hewlett-Packard and Xerox.

Canon has been producing and distributing digital cameras since 1984, starting with RC-701. The RC series is followed by the PowerShot and IXUS series from digital cameras. Canon also developed the EOS (Electro-Optical System) series of single-lens reflex (DSLR) digital cameras that include high-end professional models. Canon recently introduced Thermal Transition Copying as part of the manufacturing process for all of its cameras. This process allows the camera's polymer casing to change the camera temperature very little through an exothermic reaction triggered by an electronic sensor, to assist in preventing condensation inside the camera; Common problems experienced when using SLR cameras under certain conditions

There are three types of Canon Pixma series naming, i.e. iP and 4 digit numbers followed for A4 size paper, iP followed by 2 digit numbers are reserved for mobile printers / maximum paper sizes of R4 and iX which are specifically for A3 size paper.
