TOKYO --  Canon announced on Wednesday its first professional-grade mirrorless camera, just weeks after compatriot Nikon debuted its own version to challenge Sony's dominance in the segment.

 "We have achieved a picture quality that we had not reached before," Canon President Masaya Maeda said at the unveiling event.
