Canon's mid-range EOS SLR — the EOS 50, three-point AF, quiet operation, EF mount, 1995.

The Canon EOS 50, introduced in 1995, was a mid-range enthusiast EOS body on the EF autofocus mount, sold as the Elan II or EOS Elan IIE in North America. The 50E variant added Eye Controlled Focus, positioning the model as a capable, quieter mid-tier camera between consumer and professional bodies.

As a 35mm SLR the EOS 50 used the Canon EF autofocus bayonet and an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter with a top speed of 1/4000. It featured a three-point autofocus system, through-the-lens evaluative, partial and centre-weighted metering, a built-in flash, and a full set of program, priority and manual exposure modes; the 50E added eye-controlled focus point selection. Being fully electronic, it required a battery to autofocus, meter, advance and fire.

The EOS 50 suits enthusiasts and travellers wanting a compact, capable and relatively quiet EOS body with versatile automation and the wide EF lens range. Its three-point AF, evaluative metering and built-in flash handle general, travel and documentary work well, and the 50E's eye control adds focusing convenience. It is a well-balanced mid-range autofocus SLR that remains usable today.

On the used market, the EOS 50 is fully electronic and battery-dependent, so confirm power and operation. Check the shutter, the LCD panel, the built-in flash and, on the 50E, the eye-control calibration. A common wear point is the rubber grip covering becoming sticky with age. Test autofocus, all modes, foam light seals and film transport. EF lenses continue on Canon EF and mirrorless bodies with adapters.
