Canon recently announced that they have maintained their position as the No. 1 share of the global interchangeable-lens digital camera market for the 12th straight year from 2003 to 2014. Canon have maintained this position due to a robust product line-up spanning the development of CMOS image sensors, image processors and interchangeable lenses, employed in its interchangeable-lens cameras. Milestones for the company include the EOS Kiss Digital (EOS Digital Rebel or EOS 300D Digital in other regions) in 2003, the EOS-1D series of digital SLR cameras targeting professional users, and the EOS 5D series, which paved the way for digital SLR video recording thanks to its full-frame sensor employing a video-capture function. More recently Canon launched the EOS 7D Mark II for 2014 with it's fast continuous shooting speed of 10 frames per second and five new camera models in February comprising of the EOS 5DS and 5DS R, which achieve the world’s highest pixel count among 35 mm full-frame sensor digital SLR cameras, the EOS 8000D (EOS Rebel T6s or 760D) and EOS Kiss X8i (EOS Rebel T6i or 750D in other regions) entry-level digital SLR cameras and the EOS M3 digital compact-system camera, which achieves greatly enhanced AF performance.
