Canon EOS
The Canon EOS (Electro-Optical System) autofocus 35 mm film and digital SLR camera system was introduced in 1987 with the Canon EOS 650 and is still in production as Canon's current DSLR and recently released Canon EOS M mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) systems. The acronym EOS was chosen for Eos, the Titan Goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, and is often pronounced as a word ( /ˈiː.ɒs/ or /ˈiː.ɑːs/), although some spell out the letters, reading it as an initialism.
