Canon's eye-control EOS SLR — the EOS 5, five-point AF, shutter to 1/8000, EF mount, 1992.

The Canon EOS 5, introduced in 1992, was an advanced enthusiast to semi-professional EOS body on the EF autofocus mount, sold as the EOS A2 or A2E in North America. It was notable for introducing Eye Controlled Focus, which selected the autofocus point based on where the photographer looked in the viewfinder.

As a 35mm SLR the EOS 5 used the Canon EF autofocus bayonet and an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter with a top speed of 1/8000 and fast flash sync. It featured a five-point autofocus system with eye-controlled point selection, through-the-lens evaluative and partial and spot metering, continuous shooting, and a full set of program, priority and manual exposure modes. Being fully electronic, it required a battery to autofocus, meter, advance and fire.

The EOS 5 suits enthusiasts and semi-professionals wanting fast, sophisticated autofocus, a high top shutter speed and flexible metering with the wide EF lens range. The eye-control focus, five-point AF and high frame rate make it capable across general, documentary, action and landscape work. It is a versatile, feature-rich autofocus SLR that remains highly usable today.

On the used market, the EOS 5 is fully electronic and battery-dependent, so confirm power and operation. A well-known weakness is a failure-prone film-back or command-dial ribbon cable, so test all functions, the shutter and the LCD panel; the eye-control system may need calibration per user. Check foam light seals, film transport and rewind. EF lenses continue on Canon EF and mirrorless bodies with adapters.
