Canon's simplest SLR from 1983 with program-only exposure and built-in motor drive, budget entry to the FD lens system.
The Canon T50 is the first camera in Canon's T-series FD-mount film SLR line, released approximately 1982. The T50 was the first Canon SLR with a built-in motor winder — an automatic film advance without the need for a separate winder attachment. Canon FD mount.
35mm film SLR. Canon FD mount (breech-lock or New FD bayonet lenses). Built-in motor winder (automatic frame advance after each shot). Program AE only (no manual or aperture-priority modes). At approximately 600g. Canon FD mount.
The T50 was designed for simplicity — Program AE only, with no manual or priority modes, and the built-in winder for hands-free film advance. A transitional design bridging Canon's FD manual-focus era toward the automated EOS system. FD lenses require FD-to-mirrorless adapter for modern camera use.
On the used market the Canon T50 is a classic Canon FD film SLR with built-in winder. Condition checks: winder mechanism, Program AE operation, shutter, film transport. Canon FD mount.
