TheCanon EOS 650 is a35 mmsingle-lens reflex camera. It was introduced on 2 March 1987,[2]Canon's 50th anniversary,[3]and discontinued in February 1989.[4] It was the first camera in Canon's newEOS series, which was designed from scratch to supportautofocus lenses. The EOS system features the newEF lens mount, which uses electrical signals to communicate between the camera and the lens.[5]Focusing and aperture control are performed byelectric motors mounted in the lens body. The EF mount is still used on Canon SLRs, including digital models. Canon's previousFD mount lenses are incompatible with EOS bodies.
Canon's first EOS camera had the latest technologies, including a microprocessor and a Canon-developedBASIS sensor for high-precision AF. Canon claimed incomparable autofocusing for the EOS 650. A range of high-precisionultrasonic motor EF autofocus lenses were also developed successfully for the 650.
An EOS 650 was used in 1992 to take the first photographic image that was uploaded on theWorld Wide Web, a picture of the bandLes Horribles Cernettes.[6]
TheEOS 5D Mark IIIDSLR was announced on the 25th anniversary of the announcement of the EOS 650.[2]
The more advancedEOS 620 followed in May 1987,[7] and theEOS 630/600 in March 1989.[8] The 620 was equipped with LCD backlight,multiple exposure and auto-bracketing capability, and a higherflash sync speed of 1/250 and shutter speed of 1/4000. The 630/600 was the first EOS camera sold with different names in different markets (630 in Japan and USA, 600 in Europe) and the first available in multiple colors (the 630 in black or "metallic gray", the 600 only in "metallic gray"). All 630/600 models have faster autofocus with "focus prediction", 7 custom functions (including options for back-button focus and film leader out), 7 Programmed Image Control (PIC) modes and 5 frames per second film transport, an improvement from the 650's 3 fps. TheCanon EOS RT is apellicle mirror version of the EOS 630 with 8ms shutter lag and an additional eight custom functions (15 in total). Only 25,000 RT bodies were made.[9][10]
