In this installment of our series on eye-level finder designs, we take a look at the eye-level finder of a Canon film SLR camera released in 1996.
Canon New EOS Kiss (Reference product)
This is an autofocus film SLR camera with a black plastic body.

Front.
Manufacturer’s logo is white color.

Comparison with EOS Kiss.
The base portion of the manufacturer’s logo is larger in size, so the white manufacturer’s logo is larger and more prominent.

Here is a comparison with the EOS Kiss.
The design looks similar at the tip of the top surface and is quite different.

The pop-up flash tip opening/closing section starts a little higher up.

You can see the difference between the tip and the trailing edge of the side.

In this article, we compare the old and new eye-level finders of Canon film SLR cameras released in 1996.
The New EOS Kiss was released as an improved version of the previously introduced EOS Kiss. The basic design is almost the same, but when we took a closer look at it, we found that the details of the eye-level finder have been renewed.
The slight design improvement is evidence of the superiority of the base design of EOS Kiss.
If you take the time to look for these design differences between the old and new models, I think you will discover many things while having fun.
We will continue to write more columns comparing old and new models of the same manufacturer in the future, so please look forward to them!
