Hoover's coverage by Josh Lower

Overview

Canon is still banging away at the document reproduction market. The company makes printers and other computer peripherals for home and office use. Its other well-known lines include copiers, fax machines, and scanners. Canon's optical segment features products used in such diverse applications as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, TV broadcast lenses, and devices used for eye examinations. Canon still operates its original camera business, which makes digital cameras, camcorders, LCD projectors, lenses, and binoculars. The company, which generates about three-quarters of its revenues outside of Japan, continues to emphasize its product development and marketing efforts in Europe and North America.
