The BEST 35mm Film Cameras to Buy in 2022 | Canon EOS SLR's

[@munnsie100]

My mum bought an EOS 3000 new in 1999, I came along in 2001, my life was captured using that camera into the 2010s! I still have it and like to use it for sentimental reasons. Great video.

[@Fmdk99]

Hi im about to buy that camera can i know if i can mount an EF-S lens onto that camera?

[@Resgerr]

​@@Fmdk99only EF lenses as film is full frame 😊

[@photohiker81]

In 1999 I bought my first SLR a EOS 300 from the first waiges I get from my army service. I love your work, it really gets me back to film. Just finished another roll of XP2 in my Bessa L.

[@PentusFtw]

Got one of these on eBay 3 months ago after watching this vid. Offered $40 and it came with the kit lens 28-75 mm. Photos on the kit lens turned out really good so I decided to purchase a 40MM 2.8 lens for this and it's been a favorite ever since!

[@DaniloAllen]

The 40mm pancake is a perfect combo for these cameras, I've been meaning to get one myself

[@edzkn]

@@DaniloAllen I use 40mm 2.8 together with EOS Rebel X with bw film. it is a very compact kit that is a pleasure to use.

[@alexanderm9446]

I was recently handed down a Minolta Maxxum 5 camera - also one of the last and very fully featured film SLR's - which uses a 'Minolta A' mount. It's quickly become my go to film camera due to its versatility, portability, and near lack of limitations. I've seen a lot of focus on a few 'cult cameras' online so I hope more people realise the value in late-SLR cameras and try them out (particularly considering the rock bottom prices)!

[@DaniloAllen]

I feel like it's an untapped area in the film photo camera market in a way - these late-SLR's are really good! I hope more people give it a try (but I also want the rock bottom prices to remain please)

[@blacklorrain]

Thanks for your review. I bought my first EOS 600 in 1987. It worked very well apart that I forgot a couple of times that it worked only on batteries!. I bought a new one in 1992 as a backup. In 2021 the cameras are still working!. I bought later on a EOS 5 new and a EOS 3 secondhand . I also got a second hand a EOS 1N in 2005. The only camera which is beyond repair is the EOS 1N. I recently bought for friends a EOS 1000, a EOS 600 as well as a EOS 5 for ridiculous prices, less than the price of a colour film!. The only problem with those cameras is the depreciation in value during those years . In 1992, I could choose between a Silver Konica Hexar and a Canon 600, they had the same price . I went for the Canon 600 and made the wrong choice in my opinion. But I agree with you, they are one of the best value cameras to buy at the present time. Many Thanks. MP

[@DaniloAllen]

Such an interesting comment, thanks for sharing! You’re so right, as an investment front the 90’s to present they definitely aren’t the best. But as far as value for camera, it’s hard to beat!

[@MCgamingDutch]

This is sooo cool ! So last year i started with photography as a hobby, i bought a 90d with some L lenses such as 35mm 1.4, 24-70,... Now that i know how to play around with a dslr, i thought it would be a good challenge to start shooting with analog cameras. Then i saw your video. I started searching for my dads analog canon. Turns out its a canon 3000, just like yours !

[@DaniloAllen]

Awesome! That should make for a fun time - especially with those lenses!

[@ayanaware2375]

I have an EOS Rebel X S and it's my baby. Very reliable and love that I can switch out lenses with my DSLR.

[@DaniloAllen]

One of my good friends has that camera - it's an absolute joy, very similar to mine!

[@srx_paolo]

I bought a Canon eos 3000n a few days ago, I paid only €60, and its conditions are practically new, I can't wait to try it

[@sharpskilz]

I got one of these for 20 quid off ebay with a lens and a load of expired film and a bag. I sold the bag for 40 quid, I sold the lens for 45 quid and I sold the film as a bundle for 40 quid. The camera is great. Works well. If I shoot 35mm it will be with this camera. I am a professional photographer and have a raft of EF L series lenses but I just tend to slap a nifty 50 on it. Great camera does the job well.

[@DaniloAllen]

Sounds like you got a great deal there! I can totally relate to just going nifty fifty most of the time, it’s just so convenient and the weight of the camera balances well with it

[@sharpskilz]

@@DaniloAllen yeah I got lucky. I knew nothing about analogue slrs when I saw it I couldn't believe how well it worked with the af system of the lenses. I liked the comparison you made in the video with modern mirrorless cameras. It feels very similar weight and size wise.

[@cameronwilson8561]

I’ve got an EOS 1V, EOS 1N and a bunch of EOS 500’s. The EOS 500 is what I probably use the most. The metering is reliable, it weighs next to nothing, and with a modern 50mm EF lens the image quality is outstanding. Sure vintage cameras have more street cred but at the end of the day I don’t really give a sh1t what the camera looks like. I suggest buying these whist you can pick one up for under A$80 with a lens!

[@DaniloAllen]

Bang on! I also don’t care much for the appearances of my camera - as long as it takes great images I’m happy 😀

[@alexblaze8878]

I prefer Nikon over canon simply because of the much wider lens compatibility. I also prefer Nikon glass over canon. But honestly the Nikon version (Nikon F100?) of the Canon eos 3000 does not take any better photos. They’re both essentially light-tight boxes. It’s the quality of the lens and the ability of the photographer that’s most important.

[@DaniloAllen]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@daily_pocket_review]

I picked up a similar one, eos rebel ti with the 28-90mm lens, for $10 USD at a local thrift store and have been very pleased with it. True it doesn't feel as heavy duty as some of my vintage full manual cameras like my nikon fm, but it's extremely easy to use and fast. I keep it around as a backup/loaner for friends.

[@DaniloAllen]

Very easy to use indeed! how often do you shoot with it if it's a backup? Whats your main camera?

[@michaelsus1072]

how are you finding the rebel ti? i’m thinking of going with that over the eos 3000 recommended here

[@thebitterfig9903]

After I got into Pentax Digital, I picked up a PZ20 for less than the cost of a Kodak Gold 3-pack. Almost less than the 2CR5 battery. Figured I could use some of the lenses I already was getting for my digital camera on a really basic electronic film SLR. It’s been a really fun and worthwhile purchase. I can totally see similar EOS cameras being a great option, too. A worthy pickup for anyone who has a lens or two, and wants to have some fun with film. Not sure whether I’d redo seeking out one of these systems to someone who didn’t already have lenses for it, just because of the breakdown of electronic cameras. But on the other hand, mechanical SLRs can be deceptively expensive these days, and while the service options are more robust, that can be expensive too. I bet a basic EOS and the Nifty 50mm f/1.8 can usually be found used for less than the cost of a working K1000 on eBay. There’s less romance to a plastic AF camera, but most folks will probably get sharper and better exposed pictures.

[@nathancarruthers254]

That looks a cool camera with your L series lens on! I've got the 35mm Eos 3 and its a superb camera, alot of professional features on there I've not used yet but alot of camera for what it costs. I have the 35mm eos 50e also, alot more user friendly I enjoy it and use it more, its not overly complicated. Both film cameras are very good especially when combined with my 50mm f 1.8 that I use on my 40D. I even used an Ef mount sigma lens on my Canon film camera the other day so looking forward to see how they develop. Enjoyed this video, thanks for making it

[@jthoresen]

Great video! It looks like a comparable Nikon would be the F75 (N75) or F80 (N80). I have a D750 and use the same lenses on my Nikon Film SLRs. If you have the lenses, getting into film can be very affordable.

[@DaniloAllen]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jamesspencer68]

Hi! I just wanted to comment to ask if you had used any Superia Xtra 400 with your EOS 3000? After watching this I went and got myself some 3V batteries for my Dad's old EOS 500, and at the moment I'm running through an old roll that was already in the camera, from how long ago I've no idea! I've only shot film on an AE-1 before this and I'm looking forward to see what the 500 can put out. I look forward to the next video!

[@DaniloAllen]

I haven't shot Superia X-TRA 400 on my EOS 3000, but I have made a video on my thoughts on that film - it was quite a while ago, but it's here on the channel. Good luck with the EOS 500, hope it works out! Let me know how you go 😊

[@DaniloAllen]

that's the way to go!

[@cedarandsound]

It's quite amazing, you set the video camera up so we can watch you snap a photo, but the video camera angle that you set up is much more interesting than the film photos you are taking. You're missing the compositions here bud.

[@JDB10394]

Nice!! What do you think of the lens it comes with?

[@DaniloAllen]

I bought it body only, what lens are you talking about?

[@user-ry7bu4dm9x]

Would you say this one is better than the EOS 500? If so, why?

No. They're essentially the same camera.

great video man!!

[@julietafrade8659]

Can you tell me if its possible to do double exposure with this camera?

[@MrSemantix]

Yes, press both () keys

[@fatharmonix]

I want to actually be shown the difference between the old lens mounts and the new lens mounts in regards to bokeh. Are the wider openings of the new systems noticeably better?

[@DaniloAllen]

That's a very interesting question. I haven't done much research into it but as I understand it, the bigger the glass the wider an f/stop you can have and end up with at least more bokeh. It's really down to the lens you are using and what style of bokeh you like as well.

[@lemonpascua5729]

help me choose. Canon eos 3000 or the rebel s? thanks

[@DaniloAllen]

Both!

I'm seeing an Eos 3000 for cheap. just the body for $16.50 aprox lul. i might get it next week

What a steal!!

[@venusabdool]

Hey 👋🏽 If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy your EOS 3000?😊

[@DaniloAllen]

I got mine from a store in Melbourne called film never die. It was kind of an impulse purchase, I’ve seen them cheaper in many other places since.

[@vchambliss24]

wowwwwww, I am getting this ASAP

[@DaniloAllen]

Did you get one?

[@MOTOMINING]

Canon, Nikon, yea yea, I'm gonna go with the dodge pickup of cameras, the Olympus OM-1 from 1975.

[@DaniloAllen]

Oooooh! I’ve never tried to OM-1 but I’ve used the OM-1n before, it’s a fun camera 😀

[@solkels_z4794]

how do you recommend between eos5 eos55 and 300v?

[@DaniloAllen]

I'm not entirely sure on that one, the EOS 5 is a more premium offering though it's also the oldest. The EOS 300V is the newest but also a more budget camera from its time. The EOS 55 is kind of a middle ground between the two as far as manufacturing dates go and price category. I'd really have to personally try out the cameras to figure out which one I liked best. Hopefully this information helped though!

[@berkayertug2000]

hello what is mod settings

[@paulafraile3143]

How do I turn it off?! 🥺🥺🥺

[@AtulVinayakS]

i have the same issue. did u find out? Also, is batteries rechargable?

[@timryan894]

Yep, these cameras are largely overlooked because you don’t LOOK as much the “HIPSTER” as with an over hyped and inferior AE-1. If you shoot film, you should have at least one more modern autofocus SLR- much better cameras. Nikons N80 and F100 are the choices for that brand (I own good copies from all brands)

[@LaBandito-1]

Canon EOS 300x/Rabel T2/EOS Kiss 7

[@DaniloAllen]

Is that the one you own?

[@LaBandito-1]

​@@DaniloAllen I like to shoot with my Spotmatic F but I have 3 pieces of this model EOS 300x (one is brand new in the box) , 300x is from 2004, the latest film camera model , 7 point autofocus, 1/4000 , and also it doesn't cost much money (the price is around 50 euros in good condition with the lens)
