  "account": "The DSLR market may be on its way out, but Canon appears to be keeping it alive with its production of hundreds of thousands of digital single-lens reflex cameras each year. According to recent figures from Techno System Research, Canon manufactured around 580,000 DSLRs in 2025, making up almost 90% of the total 650,000 DSLRs produced by Canon, Nikon, and Pentax combined. Despite Canon discontinuing new DSLR models in 2021, the company's lineup now consists of just three cameras: the flagship EOS-1D X Mark III, mid-level EOS 5D Mark IV, and entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T7/2000D. CEO Go Tokura has confirmed that Canon will continue mass production of these DSLRs as long as sales remain strong. Although this figure represents a significant drop from the previous year's 790,000 units, it still highlights a demand for DSLRs despite the company's focus on developing and selling mirrorless cameras.",
