Probably not many of these floating around in the U.S. – this was in our collection of ‘all things Canon’ for awhile but has since moved on to another collector. We thought it deserved a spot on the blog if only because few people know of its existence.
The Canon T50 is one of the simplest cameras (35mm SLR) that Canon ever produced. It accepted all Canon FD lenses, took 2 AA batteries, had a power winder built-in and had programmed automation!
Cool logo!
Simple Simon! Shutter button, function dial, hot shoe and rewind lever.
Nice bright graphics!
Bold hand grip and clean design.
If you want a simple, and we mean simple, 35mm SLR film camera to play around with, then the T50 and its cousin the T70 are just the ticket. Both take all of Canon’s FD lenses – and that’s worth the price of admission any day!
Camera: Sony Cyber-shot W170

Very basic but a great camera! Had one for a short time lately and it was way better than it looks 😉

It’s funny, but most people have never seen a T50 or T70 before. They were wildly popular in the 1980s but that’s a long time ago now.

I had a T50 as I said and have just now sold my T70… both great cameras.

Was there anything different about the World Cup model or was the only difference in the packaging?

No nothing different. No logos on the camera. All packaging but I believe there was a World Cup lens cap for 1982 and 1986.
