It was a good concept because here we are 27 years later and Rebels are still being sold as the entry level SLR in the Canon lineup. They were intended for the amateur photographer looking for an entry level camera with sophisticated features or that person using a “point-and-shoot” who wanted something more. By this time Canan had arrived at the formula for their entry level cameras. In late 1990, Canon came out with the first Rebel camera. After this camera all entry level cameras were also very capable cameras if somewhat short on advanced features. These cameras are interesting because they were offered with the only detacheable power zoom lens Canon produced. This was followed by the 700 and 700 QD which were much more full featured cameras with built in flash. These are smaller cameras with only one shooting mode automatic. The QD stands for “Quartz Date” and means the camera also has a Date Back for imprinting date on the film frame. The 750 is the same camera with a pop-up flash. The 850 is the basic camera and has no built in flash unit. The 750 / 750 QD / 850 / 850 QD are all the same camera. It was a year and a half before they introduced an ecomony entrance level camera body in the 750 / 850 body. In 1987 the came out with the 620 and 650, two very capable film cameras with features that placed them well into the enthusiast level. I have marked the ones I have acquired in a light blue.Ĭanon did not launch the EOS system and the EF lens mount on an entry level camera. Here is a list of the EOS film cameras and their dates of introduction.
