Canon succeeded in greatly reducing the price of
high-grade still cameras with its bestselling Canonet.
Canon aimed to do the same thing in the 8mm movie
camera field, and the designer of the Canonet designed
this camera.
A compact mechanism was made possible thanks to the
electric motor and a new, very compact 2.5x zoom lens,
whose front focusing lens group worked as a zooming
compensation lens, as well. Thanks to these features, a
very slim and long sideways design, containable in a
coat pocket, was achieved.
Canon anticipated that this movie camera would sell as
well as the Canonet, but this was not to be the case.
