In the last few years we've seen a distinct trend in photography: the rise of mirrorless cameras. With fewer moving parts, these cameras are smaller, lighter, and less imposing than their DSLR cousins. They're also quieter and offer faster performance.

Somehow, Canon — which has dominated global camera sales for the last 13 years — has almost completely missed this trend. Global mirrorless camera sales were up 16.5 percent this year, while DSLR sales were down 15 percent. Yet Canon has just one line of mirrorless camera to its name, the Canon EOS M series, and it's done a poor job of cultivating these cameras since their inception in 2012. (For instance, the company has somehow only afforded them a very meager lens lineup for the M series, even though Canon's DSLR lens system is reputable and vast.)

Canon has largely missed another recent trend, too, which is the application of retro film camera stylings on modern camera bodies. Companies like Fujifilm and Olympus have owned this style in the last few years, releasing top quality digital mirrorless cameras that — thanks to brushed metal finishes, metal knobs, and rubber grips — are also easily mistaken for their film camera progenitors.

A DIGITAL AE-1 COULD KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE

Those are two big swings-and-misses. But there's a very clear way that Canon could course correct for both: make a digital mirrorless version of the Canon AE-1, one of the (if not the) company's most popular legacy SLR film cameras.

The Canon AE-1 was introduced in 1976 and, for all intents and purposes, it became the camera that most easily pops into the minds of photography enthusiasts when they think of film SLRs. (The AE-1 is also, anecdotally, one of the most popular cameras among high school and college students who are taking their first film photography courses.) Its chrome-and-black design was iconic, and alongside Nikon's F series, it helped inspire similar cameras from companies like Minolta and Olympus.

Fujifilm X100T
Popular modern day cameras like the Fujifilm X100T borrow their retro design from the era inspired by the AE-1.

It's this era of photography that companies like Fujifilm are borrowing their designs from, and it's an obvious next step for Canon. Taking the popular AE-1 design and digitizing it would give them a recognizable entry in the mirrorless market (something it definitely doesn't have with the M series, which is widely ignored). It could play off the popularity of similarly-styled mirrorless cameras like the Fujifilm X100T or X-T1, and it would also open the door wide for more of Canon's legacy designs to follow suit, like the A-1 or the F-1.

Canon is rumored to be making a big push in the mirrorless market in 2016, and it will have a decent presence at CES, so who knows? Maybe the company is already working on a similar idea. What’s clear is that Canon needs to do something; the company's profits were down 21 percent in 2015. By making a retrofuture play at the mirrorless market, Canon can right the ship.

在過去的幾年中，我們看到了攝影的獨特趨勢: 上升的無反光鏡相機。運動部件少，這些相機有更小、 更輕，更少氣勢比他們的單反表兄弟。他們也很安靜，並提供更快的性能。不知何故，佳能 — — 這在過去的 13 年雄霸全球相機銷售 — — 幾乎完全錯過了這一趨勢。全球無反光鏡相機的銷量增長了 16.5%這一年，而單反相機銷售下降了 15%。佳能，卻只是一線的無反光鏡相機到它的名字，佳能 EOS M 系列，而且它已經很好地培養這些相機自成立以來在 2012 年。(例如，公司已不知何故只為他們提供微薄的鏡頭陣容的 M 系列，儘管佳能的單反相機鏡頭系統是有信譽和廣大。)佳能很大程度上錯過了另一個最近的趨勢，也是現代相機機構復古電影攝像機花式的應用。公司像富士和奧林巴斯擁有這種風格在過去的幾年中，釋放高品質數位無反光鏡相機，— — 由於對拉絲金屬裝飾，金屬旋鈕和橡膠握把 — — 也很容易被誤認為他們電影攝像機祖細胞。數位的 AE 1 可以殺一石兩鳥這些都是兩個大波動-和-未命中。但還有佳能可以當然很清楚方法正確為兩個: 使數位無反光鏡版本的佳能 AE-1，之一 (如果不是) 公司最受歡迎傳統單反膠片相機。The Canon AE-1 was introduced in 1976 and, for all intents and purposes, it became the camera that most easily pops into the minds of photography enthusiasts when they think of film SLRs.

在過去的幾年中，我們已經看到了明顯的趨勢，攝影的無反光鏡相機的崛起。隨著運動部件少，這些攝像機更小，更輕，更少的氣勢比DSLR表兄弟。他們也更安靜，並提供更快的性能。不知何故，佳能-這一直主導著全球相機的銷售在過去的13年-幾乎完全忽略了這一趨勢。全球反光鏡相機的銷售增長了今年的16.5％，而數碼單反相機的銷量下降了15％。然而佳能剛一行反光鏡相機的實至名歸，佳能EOS M系列，它的完成，因為他們在2012年開始培養這些相機的不好（例如，該公司已在某種程度上只是為他們提供了一個非常微薄的鏡頭陣容為M系列，雖然佳能的數碼單反相機的鏡頭系統是信譽和巨大的。）佳能已經在很大程度上錯過了另一個近期走勢來看，也是如此，這是現代相機的機身復古膠片相機花式的應用程序。公司如富士和奧林巴斯都擁有這種風格在過去的幾年裡，釋放出高品質的數碼反光鏡相機的-由於金屬拉絲表面處理，金屬旋鈕，和橡膠握把-也很容易誤認為是自己的膠片相機的祖先。一個數字AE- 1可一舉兩得一石這是兩個大的波動，和門柱。但有一個非常明確的方式，佳能當然可能都正確：讓佳能AE-1的一個數字反光鏡的版本（如果不是）公司最流行 ​​的傳統的膠片單反相機佳能AE-1的介紹1976年，對於所有意圖和目的，它成為了最容易浮現在攝影愛好者的心目中，當他們認為電影單反相機。（在AE-1也，有傳言稱，當中高中最流行 ​​的相機和大學生誰正在他們的第一個電影攝影場。）它的鍍鉻和黑色的設計，標誌性的，和旁邊尼康F系列，它幫助激勵來自像美能達和奧林巴斯。公司同類相機富士X100T 熱門現代相機像富士X100T借用他們的復古設計的靈感來自於AE-1時代。這是攝影，像富士膠片公司從借貸其設計的這個時代，它是佳能一個明顯的下一個步驟。以流行的AE-1的設計和數字化將讓他們在反光鏡市場的一個可識別的條目（東西絕對不與M系列，它被廣泛忽略有）。它可以漁翁得利的類似風格的無反光鏡相機，如富士X100T或X-T1的普及，它也將敞開大門，更多的佳能的傳統設計跟風，像A-1或F-1。佳能是傳聞做出大舉進軍無反光鏡市場在2016年，這將有一個體面的出席CES，所以誰知道？也許該公司已經開始著手類似的想法。什麼是明確的是，佳能需要做的事情; 該公司的利潤下降了21％，在2015年通過使retrofuture打在反光鏡的市場，佳能可權的船舶。

在過去的幾年裏，我們看到一個明顯的趨勢：在攝影的無反光鏡相機的崛起。運動部件少，這些相機更小，更輕，不施加比单眼的表親。他們也安靜，並提供更快的效能，以某種程度上，這已經占主導地位的全球相機銷售的過去13年-幾乎完全錯過了這一趨勢。無反光鏡相機全球銷量增長了百分之16.5，今年的銷量下降了百分之15，而数位單反相機。然而，佳能剛一行的無反光鏡相機名稱，佳能EOS M系列，它的完成培養這些相機以來2012差的工作。（例如，該公司已經在某種程度上只給了他們一個非常微薄的鏡頭陣容為米系列，儘管佳能单眼鏡頭系統是有信譽的，巨大的。）

佳能已經在很大程度上忽略了另一個新的趨勢，也就是復古膠片相機的風格對現代相機體中的應用。像富士和奧林巴斯公司擁有這種風格，在過去的幾年中，發佈高品質的數位無反光鏡相機，多虧了拉絲金屬飾面，金屬旋鈕，橡膠握把也很容易被誤認為是他們的膠片相機的祖細胞。

數位AE-1可以一舉兩得

這兩大擊中。但有一個非常明確的管道，佳能可以課程都做出正確的佳能数位反光鏡的版本，其中的（如果不是）公司最受歡迎的傳統单眼膠片相機。

在佳能1976推出，對於所有意圖和目的，它成了相機，最容易出現在攝影愛好者心中當他們認為膠片單反相機。（AE-1也，有趣的是，高中和大學的學生誰是他們的第一個電影攝影課程。其中最受歡迎的一個監視器）Chrome和黑色的設計，標誌性的，除了尼康的F系列，它鼓舞了類似相機從美能達和奧林巴斯公司。

富士x100t
流行現代相機像富士x100t借他們的復古設計從時代靈感的AE-1。

是這個時代的攝影像富士這樣的公司都在向自己的設計，它一個明顯的下一步是佳能。以流行的AE-1設計和數位化將使他們在無反光鏡市場公認的入口（與M系列，被廣泛忽視的東西絕對不）。它可以發揮了同樣風格的無反光鏡相機像富士x100t或X-T1的普及，也為更多的佳能的傳統設計跟風的門敞開，像A-1或F-1。

佳能據說是2016在無反光鏡市場一大推，它將在CES上有一個體面的存在，所以誰知道呢？也許公司已經在做類似的工作了。明確的是，公司需要做些什麼，公司的利潤下降了2015，百分之21。在無反光鏡市場進行retrofuture玩，佳能可以正確的船。
