Product reviewsCanon T90 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Only

A T90 35mm Film Tank with electronics

Being used, and about 20 years old, it is remarkable the T90 still takes shots to spec. It shows the build quality then... can you imagine a D300 lasting 20 years?
Only problem is that one of the T90's does not initiate the flash. It " talks" to the flash, and sets the right speed/ Fstop , but no flash fires. Never read any problems like this before. More investigation is needed.
I just put a B/W film through each T90 , with no problems with wrong exposure (excepting the flash not flashing).
I prefer the A1, which is lighter, less programme but far easier to use.Read full review...

Canon's best manual focus 35mm slr.

The t90 was introduced in 1986, and was the last pro manual focus(and FD lens using)Canon 35mm slr. It was superceded by the EOS range of AF models in 1987, but even now, the t90 is one of the best manual focus slr's one can get.
It doesn't have the accessory backup of cameras like the Nikon F2 and F3, but it has a very modern, solid feel and ergonomics.Viewfinder is very clear and has the same, brilliant, highly visible LED readout brought in by the Canon A1.
It is fairly heavy, but compact( nowhere near the bulk of,say an EOS 1nhs,or 1d). It also has a fast motor drive, without the need for any boosters,etc, unlike, say EOS 1,3 and 1v, and powered by readily available AA batteries.
It feels like a later ,high end EOS unit with a manual lens to use, and lenses
tend to be cheaper than the AF ones.
My t90 came at a bargain price, for a genuinely mint kit, on ebay. They are
superb, toughly built pro spec cameras that are great to use, and can be had for
£50- £150 for a really good one.Not as easy to use as a modern AF camera, but many people love them, one of the best cameras, even now.Read full review...

Good sound camera in the right hands.

I bought two T90's as back-up for a pair of F1's and a battery of FD lenses. It's a great camera but I prefer the F1 which is much simpler to use if you know what you are doing. It's main advantage to me is when used for macro wildlife photography, is the quiet auto film advance, using the lever wind can disturb say a butterfly. If I need all the fancy electronics which I hate I go to an EOS1 or 5.
This is a solid reliable workhorse of a camera not lumbered with a lot of useless buttons all it needs to produce great results is a user with a knowledge of photography. Add a good solid tripod which the best lens you can buy.Read full review...
