The 30 Year Evolution of Canon EOS Cameras Visualised
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
20D / gave it away to family members, greate machine combined with the EF-S 60 Macro lens
40D / 2x - one goes to family members next month
33 / never really used but use for BW film is "scheduled"
600D / great for time lapse moview with MagicLantern
EOS M / great to have with you (nearly) all the time
5D classic / 2x - cheap way to go into full frame. Each pixel has valuable information (with good lens & technique)!
EDIT:
By the way nice movie to see evolution and radiation of camera models. Well represented by a weird numbering scheme!

Nice little video clip from Digital Camera Warehouse. Thank you.
It would have been really cool if they also used morphing cross-fade for it.
(although this is even older than the 30 years of EOS
)
My personal history:
Having my father used the old Canon MF (FTb, AE-1) systems and my brother a T90 I was already pro Canon.
But I was impressed by the first mechanical AF systems of Minolta and Nikon and didn't like the bulgy and plastic mount approach of the first EOS consumer lenses.
And as Minolta was starting to get into financial troubles I made my choice and fell to the "dark side"
My lineup:
to be continued... 8)

It is cool to read through all of your evolutions with Canon!
EOS 1N-HS (still own)
EOS 1V-HS (sold to finance digital)
EOS D30 (sold)
EOS 10D (sold)
EOS 20D (well used! and still own..?)
EOS 5D Mark II (still own)
EOS 1DS Mark III (still own)
What is next? Either 5D iv or 1DC...? (Or just wait for 1DX III to come out to buy the 1DX II, hah!)
Happy shooting y'alls!

This made me think!!
Over 30 years as a professional photographer I've used Canon
for the main part, switching from Olympus in 1988 - went from
OM4's and OM3's to the EOS1
EOS 1 (x2)
EOS 1RS
EOS 5
EOS 1n (x2)
EOS D2000 (first digital)
EOS 30D
EOS 1D (x2)
EOS 1D Mk2 (x2)
EOS 5D
EOS 1D Mk3 (x2)
EOS 5D Mk2
EOS 1D Mk4
EOS 70D
EOS 1DX (x2)
EOS 1DX Mk2
The last camera on the list is without doubt the best camera
I've ever used and I think I'll add a 2nd before the year is out.
Still got a 1n and the 1RS which I must run a roll of film through sometime soon.
Really liked shooting with the RS - when the Fuji 800 film was launched the loss
of light due to the mirror became pretty negligible.
The worst was probably the 1D Mk3 in many ways - the D2000 wasn't a great
camera but was state of the art at the time and the Kodak sensor gave great
colours - hated the HDD memory cards it used which had a habit of just chucking it!!
Good fun remembering all these!!

In the early EOS days I was very much in the Nikon camp. (And Pentax for 6x7). Looking at those images of the early EOS cameras reminds me of how I hated those Canons ! With the exception of the 1 series I thought they were aesthetically vile ! Probably wrongly in hindsight; I'd have probably produced technically better images with them.
So my introduction to EOS was the 5D, then the 5DII, and an M3 added later, if that really is an EOS.

Nice video. My EOS bodies:
Elan
Elan 7
10D
30D
M
M3
M5
That’s 26 years of EOS for me. I still own them all. For the past two weeks I have been enjoying shooting with my EF 80-200mm f/2.8L (released in 1989) on my M5!
My next EOS body will be a FF MILC, fingers crossed.

2010 - 450D/ Rebel XSi - still own
2013 - 70D - sold
2014 - M - still own
2015 - 5DS - current camera
I like the new M5/6 and will probably get one to use for travel/hiking once the price drops. I am looking forward to the 6D2 as well. It could be a 2nd FF body for me, depending on its capability.

No, I don't think I have a problem. I'm sure I don't.
Oh, I also had a 40D and a 1200D for a while, but they've gone.
