How do the early 90s EOS cameras like the 100/Elan, 10/10s and A2/5 hold up today?
By the early 1990s Canon had essentially standardized the user interface for their midrange and low-end EOS film cameras and had also separated out their product line into the basic categories seen today. Many of the cameras from this era offer an excellent balance of features and functionality and can be bought quite cheaply on the used market. Canon have been steadily increasing the base feature set of their EOS line over the years, so a midrange camera of a decade ago may have a similar feature set to a beginner camera of today, but the older midrange camera will have been built to a higher level of sturdiness and quality since it cost more back then. I have reviews elsewhere on this site of the 100/Elan and the 10/10s. I don t have a full review of the A2/5, but it is included in a comparison chart.
