Execution
Digital cameras are one of the best ways for people of any age to freely express themselves.

This public display of creativity became its own catalyst for a change in societal expectations of how kids should learn.
Canon’s corporate philosophy is kyosei – a commitment to helping all people harmoniously live and work together in happiness. At the heart of the PHOTO KIDICTIONARY experience is Canon actively helping kids find their creative potential as fully rounded individuals.
