The Canon EOS-1 was launched in 1989 and was in production until 1994. The camera was the first EOS for the professional photographer market and was designed as an autofocus successor to the Canon F-1N . Canon took a big risk by switching from the classic FD bayonet to the electronic EF bayonet because the company forced its customers to buy new lens equipment.
The EOS-1 offered autofocus, an extremely robust housing, a pentaprism viewfinder that showed 100% of the field of view, shutter speeds between 1/8000 and 30 seconds, 1/250 s flash sync time and 14 custom functions.
