The Canon Canola L812 combines the functions of a pocket calculator like the Palmtronic LD-8M 2 with a small desktop housing. The similar Canola L1010 added a 10 digit calculating capability.

Canon replaced early in 1978 both the Canola L812 and L1010 with the L813 and L1011 models sporting a much sleeker design and allowing to replace the batteries from the top.
