Sukumaran, Director, Consumer Systems Products & Image Communication Products, Canon India said, “Social media for sure has changed the way we consume information and imagery is no different.

The Canon EOS M200 is designed to deliver such engaging content that connects with users and creates an immersive experience on the go.
