Canon EOS*DCS Digital Cameras

Canon has utilized the advanced imaging technology of its EOS line of 35mm SLR cameras to develop a series of digital cameras. Working in conjunction with Eastman Kodak, Canon has established itself as a leader in digital imaging technology with the introduction of the Canon EOS DCS*3 and EOS DCS*5 digital cameras. Available in three versions for color, black-and-white and infrared, the digital camera offers photojournalists and sports photographers an expanded range of imaging options while maintaining all the advantages of the conventional EOS System and its supporting line of accessories. Other applications for the digital camera include scientific research, industrial analysis, medical imaging and law enforcement. The camera uses a removable PCMCIA storage disk, and flash memory cards, for recording images.

The new Canon EOS DCS*1 digital camera features a 3060 x 2036 pixel CCD imager that delivers a total resolution of 6 million pixels. The EOS DCS*1 is also based on the EOS-1N camera body and accepts all EOS System accessories.
