A Canon S without the slow shutter speeds. Even with a Nikkor lens, the price was relatively low. Since the specs were the same as the Hansa Canon (Standard Model), the camera was dubbed the 'New Standard Model.' During this time, Japan's military forces were expanding quickly, on par with Europe and America. To procure military funds, a special tax was levied on material goods. As a result, the Hansa Canon's price greatly increased from 275 yen to 350 yen. The tax rate was 10 to 20 percent. To cope with this tax rate, the Canon NS was designed with a lower price in mind. However, this idea did not permeate the market since only about 100 units were made.
