In this issue of Canon’s Eye Level Finder series, we will look at the eye level finder of a film SLR camera released in 1993.
We will compare it with the eye-level finder design of a film SLR camera released in 1990.
Canon EOS Kiss (Reference product)
Film SLR camera with plastic body and autofocus function.
Front.
The manufacturer’s logo is a white-colored printed type.
Comparison with EOS 10 QD.
The size dimension of the manufacturer’s logo is smaller on the EOS Kiss.

The accessory shoe fits smartly.
A built-in flash is attached inside the eye-level finder.
It is opened and closed by operation of the camera.
In this article, we compare the old and new eye-level viewfinders of Canon’s film SLR cameras released in the 1990s.
In the 1990s, film SLR cameras began to use plastic camera bodies after the introduction of the autofocus function. The change in materials led to more curved surface designs.
I thought it was a little regrettable that the size of the manufacturer’s logo became smaller and less conspicuous, as we could enjoy a variety of manufacturer’s original designs.
I will continue to write columns about film cameras as I notice them!
