Within the pages of Canon - A Celebration, Brian Long chronicles the birth of the famous Japanese brand, from its early days in the 1930s as the Kwanon to the award-winning EOS range of digital camers of today. Its rise to dominance in the camera market and its innovations and new models have made Canon the choice of discerning photographers the world over. The author is a lifelong camera enthusiast, with a good collection of Canon equipment. Living in Japan, and with the full co-operation of Canon, the author has brought together a fabulous selection of images and an informative text with appendices listing every Canon model ever made. AUTHOR: Brian Long is a professional writer, having written over forty motoring books, as well as Nikon-A Celebration. His twenties were spent using cameras as part of his job as a journalist and his enginering background slowly made him realise the technical innovations that went into each new model or lens. Slowly building up a collection of the finest Nikon and Canon cameras, he has learned to appreciate them first-hand by using them on a day-to-day basis. Resident - Japan 428 colour photos
