Description
The Canon EOS 5000 (also known as EOS 888 in Asia) was launched in 1995 and represents arguably the most simplified autofocus 35mm SLR Canon ever produced. It was even more basic than the EOS 3000/88, notably lacking manual exposure mode and featuring a fixed-speed shutter (1/8s to 1/500s in auto modes, 1/8s fixed for flash). It aimed for extreme point-and-shoot simplicity within an SLR form factor, targeting users who wanted interchangeable lenses without any complexity. This is the black body.
