Canon Kiss names and international names
Canon sells some EOS bodies in Japan under the "Kiss" name. If your camera says Kiss, it is a Japan-market body — the table shows its international name so you can find the right model page.

Why the names differ
Canon uses different names for the same camera in different markets: "Kiss" in Japan, "Rebel" in North America and a number such as 250D in Europe and much of Asia. The hardware is the same; the menu languages differ because Japan-market firmware usually lists only Japanese and English.
Models without a Kiss name
The other EOS bodies on our list, such as the EOS R, EOS RP, 90D and M6 Mark II, carry the same name in Japan. For them the badge tells you nothing about the market — check the Language menu instead.
PowerShot and IXUS
The PowerShot G and SX models carry the same names in Japan. IXUS compacts are sold as IXY in Japan — send us the exact model for a free check.
Common questions
Is a Kiss X10 the same camera as a 250D?+
Yes — same body, same sensor. The Japan-market unit usually ships with a two-language menu.
Can a Kiss camera get more languages?+
All four Kiss bodies in the table are on our list. The free check confirms your firmware before you pay.
Which name should I use when buying accessories?+
Either works: batteries and accessories for the 250D fit the Kiss X10 and the Rebel SL3. Searching by the international name usually finds more listings.

Grey imports bring the Japanese version to buyers everywhere.
