Canon T50 with 50mm f/1.8 Lens

Released in 1983, the T50 gives you the beautiful through-the-lens experience of a classic Canon SLR without asking you to choose an aperture or shutter speed for every photograph. Set the lens to “A,” look through the viewfinder, bring your subject into focus, and press the shutter.

The camera measures the light and automatically selects both exposure settings for you.

No complicated dials. No memorizing exposure charts. No wondering whether you chose the right combination.

Just focus the photograph and capture the moment.

That makes the Canon T50 an especially lovely first film camera for someone who wants more than a point-and-shoot but isn’t quite ready for a fully manual SLR. You still get to compose through the actual lens, focus each photograph yourself, and explore interchangeable Canon FD lenses, but the camera takes care of the technical exposure decisions in the background.
