A lightweight Canon 35mm film SLR with autofocus, automatic exposure modes, built-in flash, and compatibility with Canon EF lenses.
The Canon EOS 500N is a great entry point into 35mm film photography for anyone wanting the look and feel of film with the ease of a more modern autofocus camera. It gives you the flexibility of an SLR, with interchangeable lenses and through-the-lens viewing, but keeps the shooting experience simple with automatic modes, autofocus, built-in metering, and motorised film handling.
This camera comes with a Canon EF 35–80mm zoom lens, giving you a practical everyday focal range for travel, portraits, family photos, street scenes, events, and casual film photography. The front name sticker/ring on the lens is missing, but the lens is still included as part of the kit.
The EOS 500N uses Canon’s EF mount, which means it works with Canon EF autofocus lenses. This makes it much easier to build a lens kit compared with older manual-focus film systems. You can keep it simple with the included 35–80mm zoom, or pair the body with other Canon EF lenses if you already have them.
It has a built-in pop-up flash, multiple shooting modes, autofocus, auto exposure, manual mode, automatic film advance, and automatic rewind. Perfect for someone who wants a film camera that feels familiar, fast, and beginner-friendly without going fully point-and-shoot.
A very practical little Canon film SLR: easy enough for a beginner, flexible enough to grow with, and full of that late-90s plastic-fantastic charm.
