===Naming scheme of EOS [[Digital single-lens reflex camera|DSLR]] and [[Single-lens reflex camera|SLR]] cameras=== Identical Canon models are sometimes marketed under different names in different parts of the world. For example, the ''EOS Rebel 2000'' known in the Americas is also known as ''EOS Kiss III'' in Japan, and ''[[Canon EOS 300|EOS 300]]'' in other parts of the world. {| class="wikitable" |- " !
