Canon to launch mirrorless camera

Reuters : Canon, the world's largest maker of digital cameras, is exploring the possibility of launching a mirrorless model, featuring many of the capabilities of an upmarket single-lens reflex camera in a more compact body, a senior company executive said. Masaya Maeda, head of Canon's camera division, also said the company had restored camera production to pre-quake levels at the end of June, after supply chain woes hampered output after the March 11 disaster, and it now plans to hike production capacity in Taiwan. The planned increase in Taiwan would bring Canon's total single-lens reflex camera output capacity to10 million units annually, from about 7 million units this year, Maeda told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday.
