Description — Canon EOS 650
The Canon EOS 650 is a 35mm film SLR camera built around the Canon EF lens mount — the same mount used across Canon's EF digital lineup — making it an interesting choice for photographers who want to use their existing EF glass on film. The camera uses phase detection autofocus, operates on a 2CR5 lithium battery, and supports an ISO range of 6 to 6400, giving it flexibility across a wide range of film types. The body is made from engineering plastic, measures 148 × 108.3 × 67.5 mm, and comes in at 660g, making it a manageable size for extended use.
There is no weather sealing, and image stabilization is not present in any form. Connectivity is absent, as expected from a film-era body. For film shooters interested in the Canon EF ecosystem, the EOS 650 offers a straightforward and capable platform.
