Canon looks to the future of consumer imaging and digital services at EXPO Paris 2015

Canon Europe today shares its future vision for the rapidly evolving world of consumer imaging. Passionate about developing new ways to help people enjoy and immerse themselves in their memories, Canon will showcase an exciting collection of concepts and technologies that will fundamentally change the way we capture, store and share images in the future, at Canon EXPO 2015 in Paris.

Alessandro Stanzani, Head of Consumer Imaging Group, Canon Europe, commented: “EXPO is an incredibly exciting time for us. Over the past five years we have leveraged our heritage, knowledge and expertise to push the boundaries of imaging. We’re transforming our consumer business to respond to our customers’ needs, focusing on creating new digital consumer services alongside our renowned imaging hardware. “Reflected throughout everything we’re showcasing in Paris is our commitment to enabling powerful experiences that make it easier for everyone to get more enjoyment from imaging. Whether reliving photos at home using our next generation Connect Station wireless imaging hub, or being able to see things the human eye simply cannot using our 4 million ISO camera. The best images represent precious memories, and we want to help people capture and surround themselves with these moments in the best possible quality. At EXPO 2015 we’re showcasing the many exciting ways in which we’re changing how people can and will interact with imaging, today, tomorrow and in the future.” Support at every stage of the imaging journey As increasing importance and emotional links are placed on photos and videos, with more being shot year-on-year, Canon continues to push the boundaries of imaging technology and pioneer new experiences and creative possibilities. Through its evolving ecosystem of products and digital consumer services, Canon is committed to supporting people through every stage of their imaging journey, and make it easier for everyone to get the best from their photos and videos – regardless of what device they’ve used to capture them on. Reaffirming its commitment to enhance and expand its range of digital services and smartphone photo apps, Canon is showcasing its latest solutions designed to tackle the challenges facing consumers in managing their large and ever expanding photo libraries.
