Canon T70 SLR camera + 35-70 zoom lens

A groundbreaking camera that showcased Canon’s first use of computerization to control camera functions. Excellent functionality combined with ease of use.

Introduced in 1984, the T70 has an onboard computer and a good set of features. It has motorized film winding and rewind, and Program Auto, Shutter Priority and Manual Exposure modes (comparable to the Canon AE-1 Program).

It has a simple but very clear viewfinder display that tells you which mode you are using, plus the aperture that the camera is selecting.

In Program Auto mode, you simply need to focus the lens and click the shutter.

In Shutter Priority mode, you can select your chosen shutter speed using the up/down buttons on top of the camera, and the camera will automatically select the correct aperture to give perfect exposure.

To the left the camera has a slide switch that turns on the power and selects the metering mode / self timer

The camera is clever in offering two metering modes: Average metering (good for most situations) measures the light across the whole frame. Partial metering measures the light in the centre only which is great for tricky situations such as backlit subjects or deep shadow.

The camera runs 2 x AA batteries, so no fancy Lithium cells needed here !

In very good condition.
