Chronology of cameras Canon
Starting from the late 1950s, Canon expanded its range of rangefinder cameras by manufacturing a new type of camera, the single-lens reflex (SLR), which had previously been overlooked by the brand. Demand grew worldwide, whether from professionals or amateurs. However, Canon had to produce multiple models before offering one that could compete with the leading professional market model, the Nikon F.

__________The Canon F-1 was developed to top the brand's range of SLR cameras. It targeted professional customers, with Canon hoping to reclaim market share from Nikon, whose Nikon F was highly praised by reporters.
The development of the camera was quite lengthy to incorporate the best technology of the time. Upon its release, the camera featured the brand's new FD lens mount. This allowed for full exposure automation.
Canon proudly announced that the camera was designed for 100,000 shutter releases and could be used worry-free for 10 years, regardless of weather conditions. However, the manufacturer recommended a single service during this period.
The prism is interchangeable and can be replaced with so-called "quick" viewfinders.
