Canon Inc., and its many incarnations are responsible for the creation of an incredible number of cameras over the years. I hope to list them all below and if writeups/nodes exist for any of these I'll link to them (no, I don't have time to make a decent writeup about every Canon camera ever to exist). The below lists were compiled manually based on information available on the Canon Inc. website (www.canon.com). If you have updates to this, feel free to let me know. Likely I'll do something about it.
