Canon EOS 850

Canon EOS 850

The Canon EOS 850, introduced in 1988, is a streamlined 35mm SLR designed for photographers who value simplicity and high-quality optics. As one of the early models in the EOS line, it was built to provide a "point-and-shoot" experience within a sophisticated SLR body. It focuses on fully automatic exposure, allowing the user to concentrate entirely on composition. Its sleek, minimalist design and compatibility with the vast range of Canon EF lenses make it an excellent choice for those transitioning from compact cameras to the superior image quality of a full-frame analog system.

Expert Advice The EOS 850 is a unique piece of Canon history, perfect for the casual film enthusiast who wants SLR performance without a steep learning curve. It is essentially the "purist's" automatic camera. Because it uses the Canon EF mount, it can share lenses with modern digital Canon DSLRs. The lack of a built-in flash makes it sleeker and more durable than many other models. We recommend using a 2CR5 battery and ISO 400 film for the best all-around results.
