If you want to try 35mm wetfilm and have to buy a camera to do so then there will be all the "popular or fashionable models" with matching prices but this is a cheaper and great value for money option typically selling for a quarter of the price of those, sometimes even less. Apart from a body you will need a Canon EF lens or that could be a Sigma EF fit and probably a new battery, these are not rechargable - 2CR5 and readily available in various brands. If you are comfortable with using a modern DSLR or Mirrorless equaivalent, it won't take you long to get comfortable with using the EOS 600/630 camera as far as the basic controls are concerned. If you can get hold of a copy of the original manual, you may be surprised at just how many other non obvious functions it has too.

This is a solid, dependable, almost indestructible workhorse of a camera. Maximum shutter speed is 1/2000 sec and it's capable of taking up to 5 shots/sec. (though you need a solid tripod or arms like the hulk to shoot 5fps). The EOS 600 may not have quite as many functions as say an EOS 1 or 5, but as it will cost you about 1/5th of the price of the other models, it represents great value for money. I now own 3 of them, 2 of which I use for shooting regularly and a third which I keep at home as a back-up; just in case I should ever lose one while out and about. The camera can auto-focus using any Canon EF lens (though not EF-S) and is compatible with lenses from a number of other manufacturer; some I have used or own include lenses from Sigma, Tokina, Vivitar and Cosina, though others I'm sure would be just as effective. The EOS 600 offers a range of exposure control methods; from totally manual, through shutter and aperture priority to completely automatic, and exposure is spot-on on all 3 of mine ;). In short, any shots I miss are entirely due to the idiot behind the camera - not the camera itself. The EOS 600 also offers a range of special functions which you can access by pressing buttons under a pull down flap at the back. Once you get the hang of pressing these buttons a whole ew world of usage opens up to you. If you are considering buying a Canon EOS film camera then look carefully at the specs. of the 600; be like me buy one, use it, LOVE it. Oh! By the way, I'm not a one horse guy; I also own and occasionally use an EOS 500, a 650 and a 750 too ! lol!Read full review
Simple, reliable, sturdy, comfortable, good looking and cheap! It will take any EF lens (no EF-S) and the 6 segment metering system will never let you down! On top of all you have a depth of field button and 5 fps that will eat a whole film in seconds! The flash sync is 125 and top shutter speed is 2000. If you need higher shutter speed and flash sync at 250 you need to go for the EOS 620 although the auto focus is a lot slower and it is only 3 fps compare to 5 fps with EOS 600. Before you buy you need to know that all these cameras do suffer from the black like glue greasy residue on its metal shutters! If you do not know how to fix it DO NOT BUY!!! Do not pay more than a few quit for it as it might look good from outside even the shutter itself but as soon as you fire it at 5 fps the black goo will manifest itself and if you leave it there it will glue the shutter curtains! Once you manage to remove it this camera will probably work forever without any problems! The other issue that these have is the LCD display! I’ve never had one like this myself but it is well documented that sometimes it fails after 28 years!Read full review

I have found this camera a very good camera , it does everything that I want it to do. It is easy to use and it is light enough to carry around, I enjoy using it.
I bought this camera to experiment with film photography along side my digital EOS 600D and shared lenses. Unfortunately it was faulty with a common problem on this model of a sticky shutter. I would avoid this model unless it has been tested at a high shutter speed and examined to make sure there is no residue on the shutter, easily checked by opening the film cover
