Description — Canon T90
The Canon T90 is a 35mm SLR film camera built around the Canon FD lens mount, storing images on standard 35mm film with a 24 x 36mm frame. It offers an impressively wide ISO range of 6 to 6400, giving photographers flexibility to dial in the correct setting for virtually any film stock they choose to load. For action or sequence shooting, the T90 features a burst mode reaching up to 4.5 frames per second, a strong spec for a film body of this type.
Focusing is entirely manual, putting creative control squarely in the hands of the photographer. Flash shooters will appreciate the TTL flash compatibility and the presence of a hot shoe for attaching external flash units. The camera is powered by 4x AA batteries, a practical choice that keeps replacements accessible anywhere.
An LCD display handles settings readout, and the body is constructed from a combination of plastic and metal materials. The optical viewfinder provides a clear, real-time view for composing and focusing shots.
