Totally underrated camera this one. I've owned one for 23 years and it hasn't missed a beat. I've been tempted to buy a couple of spares given the cheap price.
Got a 500 and a 500n for £15. The 500N is my most used camera over the last few years
Great video as always! Another advantage over point and shoots is that framing is much more accurate since it’s through the lens and also you know you’ve nailed the focus.
That's true! Thank you :-D
Love the fact that you can use eos lenses. I’m using an EOS 5 and a 50E. Both great cameras. Never had any battery issues. Only downside for me is the size. And I wish there was a 35mm or 28mm lens the size of that pancake
I got this same exact one just the US name variant is called Canon Eos Rebel Xs got it for like $10 from a goodwill. 50mm 1.8 is on it all the time cause of how small the setup is.
Love my 500, I've also got the battery grip for it, I've also got a 300v and the eos 50e, all work fine and produce great results, it's great testament to the engineering quality of these classic Canon 35mm cameras.
Hells yeah. That's my go to 35mm camera. Really underrated! I also love to attach the 40mm pancake lens and treat it as a point and shoot
Nice! Yeah I thought I'd seen it in one of your videos!
Hah that’s what I’ve put on my 500n
Great advice for people that don’t want to drop a ton of money on a point and shoot. I have a Eos 500N and sometimes like to use my Samyang 14mm 2.8 on it because you don’t see the ultra wide angle look on film too often.
Nice! Yeah you don't tend to! When I use my 16-35mm at the wider end on film it always looks interesting
I have that lens too.... my 500n in post to me bought on e bay....
My 14mm acts like 20mm on crop sensor....
Looking fwd to using 500n body only but have lenses..
I have several of these. You just can’t go wrong for £5-£10! My favourite vintage EOS body is the 600, but the 500 with the 40mm f2.8 makes for a fantastic camera setup you can carry everywhere.
This same camera was also called the Kiss in Japan, & Rebel XS in North America.
I have the Elan 1 and the Elan 7ne (US names). I got the Elan 1 for $10 in perfect condition. They're great. Better in almost every aspect than cameras from the 80's, except for style and tactile feel. Really good value SLRs for beginners. I agree the pancake 40mm is perfect for these cameras too. I put that on the Elan 1 and gave it to me girlfriend to start getting into photography, and she loves the combo.
Great livestream!
For sure! thanks for watching
There is a version for Japanese market, I think it's an early 2000s model named Kiss 5. Kiss 5 is slightly more compact than EOS 500.
For me this is the perfect allaounder, blows any premium compact poin&shoot out of water when it comes to image quality and you can adapt older lens to it....
Those are very good cameras. But because they don't look super retro and look like digital cameras, people tend to move a way from them. I have two eos 500n and the eos 100. For fast action the auto focus are better. I only hope the price doesn't skyrocket after the video 😅. Cheers my friend👍
Defo the aesthetic keeps them cheap, more for the eos fans i guess. Function wise this is a keeper rather than those "aesthetic" cameras without even a lightmeter smh
I had a Eos 5, but switched to Eos 500 to get something lighter for travel&hiking. Excellent basic camera IMO.
Nice! Yeah they're so light :-)
I snagged Elliott Erwitt's NY & Paris books a couple of years ago, they're so good and affordable. I love how pocketable they are.
the first film camera i’ve used and still have is my dads eos 100 and a friend gifted me a nifty fifty for my bday. i have not picked it up that much lately but this video definitely reminded me to pick it up again. the film in it have been in there since last summer i think. i love the camera since this is the same camera i grew up with.
Picked up a EOS-300 late last year with a 28-105mm for $50 from a Melbourne seller. Takes wonderful photos. Paired it up with a variety of lenses. Results were much better than I expected.
Definitely strange using film again after being so used to the image preview on the back on the DSLR to just see a blank panel.
That's great! Haha yeah that'll take some getting used to
@@pushingfilm Best when people ask to see the photo and you reply "sure, in a week or so!" And they are all confused as to why, especially people under 25.
Picked up a Canon EOS 650 in November. A bit older but it still works well. Got it and a 35-105mm lens for ¥1,000.
I use my ef-m (the manual focus version) with the 50mm f1.8. It is quite ugly and plasticky, but i don't feel stressed bringing it at the beach. The meter is quite reliable and the pictures are quite pleasing. Nice video!
I have the Canon EOS 3000n. Bloody brilliant! I use the Canon 1.8 nifty fifty and also 40mm. Really simple and user friendly way to shoot 35mm
Of of these was accidentally sent to me instead of the Helios lens I ordered - haha - that being said! Camera is cool, light weight, 1/2000th max shutter AND with an EF to Nikon F adapter I have, I can shoot pre AI beautiful Nikon glass on a full auto body. Pretty neat!
Have a similar setup with the 40mm! That pancake lens makes it a whole different camera! 🙌🏾
Nice! :-D
I just picked up the Elan, which I think is the same series but different name for different regions of the world. Mine has 3 focus points. Paid 30 dollars Canadian and added a nifty fifty for $90 Canadian. Waiting for my first roll to come back from the lab. I'm really happy with using it. One downfall is some old m42 lens will hit the mirror.
Nice, that's a great deal and kit! Yeah I have encountered that issue trying to adapt certain vintage lenses
Thanks for the upload. Is ‘single shot’ AF available in AV mode? My EOS Kiss seems to be defaulting to ‘continuous’. After scouring the manual, I can’t figure out how to change this.
Not a Canon guy, but if you're on the lookout for Nikon equivalents: Nikon F100, F90, F80 and F75 are all autofocus Nikon cameras. The tricky thing is they only support up to Nikon AF-G glass. No newer Nikon Af glass. For Sigma, there only is support for the 35mm F1.4 Art and 50mm F1.4 Art.
At the same time, they do not support the earliest Nikon F lenses without modifications. I like that Nikon stuck to their F mount for the greatest of times, but there are a lot of things to pay attention to...
Nikon AF-S glass is not supported. I repeat, Nikon AF-S glass is not supported (even in the F6). Canon, in that regard, is the better option!!!
And I prefer Nikon...
Would love to see a video about the Nikon F100. That is also an under rated camera.
I bought my brother the 500N and he loves it :D I have a 3000N and it's a good camera as well. These cameras look small with a nifty fifty added onto them. The pancake lenses would look even smaller. I have a 7Artisans 85mm f/2 that's not too large and looks OK on the cameras. I mainly use that lens on my 1100D for astropics. It's good for capturing the Magellanic Clouds as they fill the FoV just nicely :D
Nice! I can imagine that 85mm would be great on 35mm film
I got mine at a thrift store too! Got a great lens too
I found one at a good price today, it appears to work and I have let it eat a 2008 expired roll of c41 film as a quick test because I had none of the B&W film that I can develop myself. I think I will just freeze it and mabye when I find it the next time I will have learned C41 processing (by that time I may have forgotten what photos are on the film so that might be fun.)
I managed to luck out on a 500n with the kit lens for $35 off Gumtree a few months ago which has been fantastic in my bridge to film from digital. I already had the 40/2.8 and 50/1.8II which I put on it. But my question is: what’s the difference between the 500/500n/etc?
Sweet! From what I know the difference are very minor, with the N being an update model to the original 500.
How was using it with the Sigma art? I’ve heard that autofocusing on that lens is hit or miss!
It is a little bit hit or miss with these older camera bodies, but I found it hits most the time if you use the centre point... it helps also if you shoot a bit slower and confirm the focus visually where possible
What lenses did you use for most of the pictures taken? Especially the portret pictures and the ones with neon lights :)
Hey, most of them were with these lenses: Sigma Art 50 1.4, Canon 40mm 2.8, and Voigtlander Nokton 58mm 1.4 (Nikon version with EF adaptor). I cant remember for sure, but I think the neon shot was on the Nokton.
@@pushingfilm Thanks! Would the Sigma Macro D52 lens also work you think?
1:2.8
I have the Rebel G. Great
Hi all, I’m new to film photography and found the Canon 500 film camera at my parents place. I was hoping on using lenses from my canon dslr but am aware that it is EF-S lens compatible while this camera takes full frame ES lenses. Is anyone able to explain what would be the implications to shooting film with an EF-S lens with the canon 500? Thanks in advance
How do you get the film photos off of it and into Lightroom ? There’s one for sale cheap online I’m interested in but if getting the film done is so expensive then I might not get it ! Can it be done at home with good results or not really ?
Also I’d be interested to see photos done with the lens it came with (unless that was what you showed I didn’t listen with sound lol) I don’t have any canon lenses only what’s on the camera so it would be good to see how that one works Thank you!
Hey. It can be done at home with good results, but there will be quite an initial investment in equipment, and also time learning the workflow. Depending on how much a lab charges you to develop and scan film, that would be a more affordable and convenient option. I didn't get a lens with mine (as far as I remember), so I used Canon lenses that I already had for my digital canon camera. One good example is the 40mm 2.8 lens, which is a good all-rounder and quite affordable.
Great content! Enjoyed it :)
Awesome, thank you!
any major differences with eos500 and eos500n?
Would you recommend any lenses other than 40mm/50mm ? Vintage as well as new?
It's an unusual, big, and expensive recommendation... but the 70-200 2.8 is one of my favorite Canon lenses. Not for everyone or everything though!
@@pushingfilm thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
What is the Nikon equivalent from this era?
Something like the Nikon F50 or F55/N55 would be close!
@@pushingfilm Thanks, nice idea to have a more modern electronic version that uses the same lenses as my F3
Canon Aos 500 good.
The fatal flaw of this camera is that you are stuck in AI Focus in P, Tv, Av & M.
After this video got Canon EOS 30V/ELAN. Paid only 100 euros for a modern film camera.
Nice!
