Canon EOS-55 SLR film camera

This was a high-end autofocus SLR on sale from 1995, released as an upgrade on the great EOS 5 camera but only sold in Japan. It features some very impressive capabilities, including zoom flash, multiple metering modes, and a viewfinder that detects what you are looking at and focuses on that spot.

Compared to the EOS 5 it has the following improvements:

• The eye-controlled autofocus is faster, and operates both in portrait and landscape mode
• Panorama function
• More control dials for faster access to key functions

Most functions are selected via a control wheel on the top left of the camera which is clearly marked with icons for each function, making the camera suitable for beginners and more advanced users alike.

A moulded hand grip makes handling easy, and the viewfinder displays shutter speed and aperture.

• Shutter speeds from 30s - 1/8000s.
• Built-in pop-up zoom flash
