30-years-young

I remember lusting after one of these when they were new, and even now, 30-years-later, it lives up to my rose-colored memory.

I own and shoot a modern Canon 5D mk III and use the challenging 50mm f/1.2 L as my primary lens, and this first-generation autofocus camera focuses this difficult lens quickly and accurately, while the fast (for 1987) 1/4000th shutter speed allows using that lens, wide open, in daylight without an ND filter (ISO 50 Ilford Pan F is wonderful stuff).

I always carry this body in the bag with my 5D3, and often get my best shots with it.

One of the other reviews is wrong. When using EF lenses with IS the image stabilization function most definitely DOES work.

A wonderful film camera and a great bargain

Among all the Canon 35mm film cameras this has to be one of the very best bargains. It is a great size and weight and easy to handle. It is an automatic camera with shutter priority, aperture priority, program and manual modes. It loads and rewinds the film automatically. It can do single shot or use a built in multiple shot mode. It even has exposure compensation. Best of all it not only has auto focus (which is fast, quiet and accurate), but is also compatible with every Canon EF lens right up to the present day. This makes shooting 35mm film super easy and enjoyable. It is not difficult to purchase a pristine copy of one of these for $150 or less, compared to the EOS 1V which will set you back $700 or more.

Fantastic buy

Very happy with the purchase. The camera I purchased was in near-mint condition. It feels very solid and durable. Handles very very similarly to the modern-day DSLRs. Fast focus. Great viewfinder. Pretty decent battery life too.Read full review

Nice camera for the advanced amateur film user.

It is great condition. Everything works as it should. I haven't put a roll through it yet but I expect there will be no problems. I am anxious to try the bracketing feature which is not available on the EOS 650.Read full review
