Each year, the awards program recognizes the best product designs from a wide range of sectors, including industrial products, consumer electronics, and household goods, along with vehicles, sports items, and furnishings, in addition to aspects such as design strategy and branding.

Canon’s RF/EF Lens Production Exceeds 170 million

Canon’s RF/EF Lens Production Exceeds 170 million Units, Extending its World Record in Interchangeable Lens Production

MELVILLE, N.Y., - October 22, 2025 — Canon U.S.A., Inc. today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc. is celebrating that, in October 2025, Canon reached a historic milestone of producing a cumulative total of 170 million RF and EF interchangeable lenses for its EOS series, extending its world record¹ for the highest number of interchangeable camera lenses ever produced.

The EF lens was introduced in 1987 as the dedicated lens system for Canon’s EOS autofocus single-lens reflex film camera, debuting simultaneously with the EOS system itself. Since their inception, EF lenses have led the industry by incorporating a series of world-first2 technologies, including the Ultrasonic Motor (USM), Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, and a multilayered Diffractive Optical (DO) element, and have undergone numerous evolutions.

In 2018, Canon launched the RF lens series, designed for the EOS R mirrorless camera system, which features a large aperture, short back focus, and high-speed communication system to deliver even higher image quality. The RF and EF lens series lineup now includes a total of 108 models3, covering a wide range of focal lengths4 from ultra-wide 10mm to super-telephoto 1200mm. The series also includes the world’s first VR lens5, lenses with built-in power zoom suited for video shooting, and even those compatible with power zoom adapters—expanding the scope of creative expression and meeting the diverse needs of users for both still photography and video.

EF lens production began at Canon’s Utsunomiya Plant in 1987. Since then, both EF and RF lenses have gained strong support from a wide range of users—from beginners to professionals—leading to steady growth in production volume. Today, Canon manufactures lenses at five sites: Utsunomiya Plant; Canon Inc., Taiwan; Canon Opto (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.; Oita Canon Inc.; and Miyazaki Canon Inc. Milestones include 10 million units produced by 1995 and 50 million by 2009. Then in 2014, Canon became the first company in the world to reach 100 million interchangeable camera lenses produced. In October 2025, the company reached 170 million units, leading to the achievement of this world record. The 170 millionth lens produced was the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z.

The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z (released in Nov 2024), the 170 millionth lens produced

Canon has maintained the No.1 (6) global market share for digital interchangeable-lens cameras for 22 consecutive years since 2003. Moving forward, Canon will continue to refine its proprietary imaging technologies and further strengthen and expand its lens lineup, pioneering new imaging possibilities and contributing to the continued evolution of photographic and video culture.

Highlights in the development of the RF/EF Lens Series

The EF lens, which was introduced alongside EOS in March 1987, has adopted a variety of world-first technologies, including Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, featured in the EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM released in 1995; a multi-layered Diffractive Optical (DO) element, used in the EF400mm f/4 DO IS USM launched in 2001; and Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC)7, applied to the EF24mm f/1.4L II USM released in 2008.

In 2021, Canon launched the EOS VR System, a VR video system consisting of a mirrorless camera8, dedicated lens, and PC software, thereby creating a 3D 180° VR video through an interchangeable lens camera. In 2024, Canon began rolling out a new series of hybrid lenses equipped with iris rings, designed to meet the needs of both still photography and professional video production. For zoom lenses, the company has also launched RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z and RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z which are compatible with power zoom adapters. For single focus lenses, the company released F1.4 L hybrid prime lens series that unified the size and ring and button position across models. In September 2025, Canon launched RF85mm F1.4 L VCM, the fifth model in this series, demonstrating that it can meet demands in line with the changing times.

Canon's Young People Programme: A Decade of Change

A Decade of Change: How Canon’s Young People Programme is Rebuilding Confidence Worldwide

London, UK, 16 October 2025 – As today’s young people navigate a range of ongoing global pressures, new research from the University of Northampton’s Institute for Social Innovation and Impact (ISII) has revealed the powerful role of initiatives such as the Canon Young People Programme (CYPP) in improving youth confidence, resilience and a sense of purpose.

As Canon EMEA celebrates the 10th anniversary of its Canon Young People Programme, which uses photography as a tool for self-expression, storytelling and social change, the research confirms CYPP’s significant and lasting impact on young people, communities, and partner organisations worldwide.

“At a time when many young people across the world are grappling with a multitude of different pressures, this research is proof that creative empowerment can be a lifeline,” said Adam Pensotti, Head of the Canon EMEA Young People Programme. “In partnership with Northampton University, we’ve explored and uncovered just how impactful and far-reaching initiatives such as CYPP can be.

For 10 years, the programme has shown that when you give young people the tools, skills, and trust to tell their own stories, they can change their lives and their communities for the better. This helps to strengthen communities, influence change and inspire the next generation of leaders.”

Since its launch in 2015, CYPP has engaged over 10,000 young people across EMEA, partnering with more than 40 charities and community organisations in over 36 participant countries.

Youth Voices at the Heart

Participants describe CYPP as life-changing:

“When I first joined the Canon Young People Programme through Wild Shots Outreach, I had never held a camera and knew almost nothing about conservation” said Rifumo Mathebula, CYPP alumnus and Programme Director at Wild Shots Outreach. “I discovered I had a passion for storytelling and felt a responsibility to protect the natural world around me. Today, I’m teaching the next generation of young people living alongside Kruger National Park, giving them the same opportunities I received through CYPP. The programme gave me a voice, a purpose and the belief that we can all be changemakers in our communities.”

Through visual storytelling and skills training, CYPP empowers young people to address local social and environmental challenges, develop leadership capacity and explore new career paths. Over the last 10 years, alumni are emerging as community champions, entrepreneurs, and agents of change. The independent ISII evaluation confirms that:

• Longer participation leads to greater impact: the more time young people spend in CYPP, the more their confidence, motivation, and adaptability grow.

• Empowerment through photography: participants gain a voice in their communities, using visual storytelling to highlight social and environmental issues.

• Improved employability: photography and critical thinking skills open doors to new career paths, from creative industries to tourism and conservation.

• Ripple effects in communities: youth-led exhibitions and projects inspire dialogue, strengthen community bonds, and address local challenges.

• Best practice partnerships: CYPP’s collaboration model between corporations, NGOs, and academia is cited as a benchmark for effective social impact initiatives.

“In a global climate where youth confidence and wellbeing are a priority, CYPP stands out as a proven model for positive empowerment,” said UON Vice Chancellor and CEO, Professor Anne-Marie Kilday. “Over the last 10 years, the programme has delivered measurable and lasting change for its participants and their communities.

What’s most exciting is that this research suggests that this model for measuring creative empowerment can be measurable and scalable. This kind of impact measurement is something that many social impact initiatives struggle to demonstrate, which can limit their growth and opportunities. We believe that this can serve as a blueprint for how corporate, non-profit, and academic partnerships can deliver real, lasting social change. Effectively bringing more opportunities to a wider group of young individuals.”

Looking Ahead

As CYPP enters its second decade, Canon is exploring:

• Longer-term interventions to deepen impact
• Country-specific adaptations to address local challenges
• Expanded NGO training streams to scale best practice globally
