Chronology of cameras Canon
The EOS system (Electro-Optical System) represents a complete departure from previous Canon cameras, as everything changes, especially due to the lack of compatibility with FD lenses.
EOS cameras feature sophisticated electronics and excellent autofocus, made possible by the new range of EF lenses with integrated motors (USM). The coupling between the camera body and the lens is now purely electrical. Gone is the small cam that protruded from the rear of FD lenses.
The overall design is new, although it retains some small reminiscences of the T90, designed by Colani.

The name EOS has been retained to designate the digital SLR cameras of the brand.__________
Between 1992 and 1998, Canon marketed this autofocus SLR for demanding amateurs.
Aside from its more modest construction (an entirely polycarbonate body without extensive weather sealing) and the inclusion of a built-in flash, this camera was equipped with all the features of a professional camera. These features included a burst mode of 5 frames per second, evaluative metering across 16 zones, and a shutter speed reaching up to 1/8000. It also featured a very innovative eye-controlled autofocus system. The EOS 5 had five focus points, and subsequent Canon models that adopted this principle would increase this number. Its viewfinder is large and clear, and its eye relief is appreciated by glasses wearers.
Furthermore, this superb body was sold with a standard zoom lens of 28-105 mm (while the competition at that time offered ranges from 28 to 80 or 85 mm). This lens combined excellent optical quality, fast and silent autofocus, and a relatively affordable price. Equipped with just this lens, it was already an all-purpose camera, but it could also accommodate Canon's numerous lenses. As a result, the EOS 5 quickly became a second or even third body for many professionals alongside the prestigious EOS-1. Interchangeable focusing screens and a vertical grip (VG10, without a battery, as the camera was powered by a 2CR5 battery) complemented the capabilities of a body whose only flaw was the fragility of the main selector, which could break if mishandled during startup.
The EOS 5 was marketed in North America under the name EOS A2.
