Canon's last FD SLR — the T60, aperture-priority AE, electronic shutter, entry-level, 1990.
The Canon T60, introduced in 1990, was the last FD-mount SLR Canon produced, arriving after the EOS system had already taken over as the main line. It was a simple, entry-level body actually built by Cosina for Canon, offered mainly in certain markets, and it marked the end of the manual-focus FD era.
As a 35mm SLR the T60 used the Canon FD breech-lock bayonet and an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter. It offered through-the-lens metering with aperture-priority automatic exposure and manual control, shown by a viewfinder display. Being electronically timed, it required a battery to meter and to fire, and it used a manual film-advance lever.
The T60 suits students, beginners and users wanting a straightforward, later-production FD body with aperture-priority automation and access to the wide FD lens range. Its simple controls and light build make it an easy general-purpose and learning camera, and it is of interest as the final FD-mount model. It is a practical, no-frills film SLR.
On the used market, the T60 is electronically timed and will not fire with a dead battery, so verify power and meter function. Being a later, Cosina-built body it is less common, so check availability of spares. Test aperture-priority AE, look for perished foam light seals, prism haze and smooth advance and rewind. FD lenses adapt to mirrorless bodies for continued use.
