The Canon EOS 650 is the first of the Canon range of EOS 35mm Film CAMERAS. EOS cameras utilise automatic focusing to provide better picture quality to photograpers. Made in 1987, it is a solid piece of machinery and still capable of using any one of the Canon range of EF lenses. Over the years the EOS range has been extended to include several 'point and shoot' almost fully automatic cameras right through to the top of the range professional quality cameras. In EOS terminology the smaller the camera number, the higher the quality. In the series there were 1,10,100 & 1000 versions followed by 5,50, 500 & 5000 then lastly by the 3,30,300 & 3000 cameras. The highest quality professional versions were EOS 1 superceeded by EOS 1N and lastly by EOS 1V. All of these cameras can use any one of the massive range of Canon EF lenses made for film and Digital EOS cameras My first EOS camera was purchased in 1995 and I bought the 650 to start a collection of EOS FILM CAMERAS before they are all thrown away now that Digital Cameras are well established. I have both film and digital EOS cameras and recognise the advantages of both. I do not want to get into any arguments about whether Canon is better or worse than any other brand name.Read full review
Don't worry about AE-1's or A-1's or the like. They're massively too popular and overpriced as a result. Buy one of these. They're much cheaper, much more reliable and have much more dependable automation. And there's a manual mode if you feel like it - which manages to be reasonably useable. The ergonomics are modern - it's easy and intuitive to control and feels good and secure in the hand. It'll take ten minutes to figure out what the buttons do if you have any sort of familiariy with a camera. It'll take two seconds to figure out how to put film in it and turn the switch to 'Green Square' and make good pictures with metronomic reliability. It is built solidly - with plastic body panels on a heavy metal core. It can double-duty for hammering in nails, or fence-posts. Also, if you feel like it, you'll be able to walk into a Canon dealer and buy a brand new €10,000 EF lens and it'll work just as happily as it will on any 1Dx you'd care to throw at it. Image stabilisation and all. Read full review

I've put only one film through my EOS650 so far so I can't really say how reliable it will be in the longer term but early signs are good. It appears well-built, it autofocuses well and the film was perfectly exposed. I wanted a film EOS for my Canon lenses and thought that this one, as the first EOS, should be a good start for a cheap price. It's like a big point & and shoot, easy to use and good in the hand.

As a 35mm enthusiast I brought this camera to be able to use my digital lenses on a film camera and this does not disappoint one bit. For the price this is the best camera on the market for any digital Canon users looking to use their lenses on a 35mm camera.

It came without a body cap and is full of dirt and dust and will have to be professionally cleaned which will cost more than the camera is worth.
