Canon: Kyōyū

Canon Australia has released Kyoyu Canon's first-ever camera-sharing community an innovative new way for Canon owners to make money from their gear and for people to access better equipment when they need it. Japanese for 'share', Kyoyu is a camera-sharing community created by Canon Australia to help owners get more value from their Canon products and to provide an affordable and simple way for everyone to access better photography gear. The first of its kind for a camera manufacturer, Kyoyu has a built-in ID verification process and Canon has arranged insurance protection for owners who are renting out their Canon gear on the platform. Designed for the ideal user experience, the platform employs the latest Progressive Web App technology to minimise barriers to access and maximise utility. User-centred design means the platform enables updates and enhancements to be made quickly in response to user feedback.
