From Steve Baxter (Thu Apr 26 05:44:01 2001 ):
I'm also having problems with the film advancing. It stops around frame 15 in a roll of 24. This is the second time I've sent it in for repair. Could anyone explain this problem? I knew I should have bought a manual camera!

From Morgan (Mon Apr 2 07:13:58 2001 ):
Would much appreciate help with a T-70 problem. Every time a new roll of film is installed and the camera advances to the 5th picture the camera begins beeping and flashing the film completed symbol. No matter what I try it won't advance any farther. Could someone please offer any advice or solutions. Thanks.
From David Ellis (Sat Mar 31 21:11:44 2001 ):

From dave carleton (Sat Mar 31 08:46:44 2001 ):

From josh (Thu Mar 8 10:26:45 2001 ):
I have recently bought a T-50. I put a new role of film in and must have bumped the button on the bottom of the camera that allows me to rewind the film. I am not a camera genius. Does anybody know how to get that button unstuck?? I have tried to take the film out and reset the camera but nothing like that is working. I am also looking for a instruction manual for this camera. Thanks to anybody who can help!
From Adam Charles George (Wed Mar 7 14:25:07 2001 ):
I really would like to buy a T-90, but so far everything I have read makes it sound like the TTL Flash Metering is only operable with the Speedlite 300TL. Is that true or would it work just the same with my QFlash? Please let me know soon as a decision is about to be made! Thanks.
From stephanie (Wed Mar 7 09:53:16 2001 ):

From John Yarbro (Tue Mar 6 05:07:18 2001 ):

From Gareth (Wed Feb 28 23:55:09 2001 ):
I've got a T70, and have the chance of a Speedlite 199a flash, does anyone know how well these work together?. Is it worth waiting a bit and getting the 277T desgned for the T70?
From ivan (Mon Feb 26 23:39:08 2001 ):

From Mauricio (Thu Feb 22 11:49:39 2001 ):
I have a Canon T50, but do not have the instruction manuel. Does anyone know how I can get one? English instructions would be OK, but Spanish would be preferred. Thanks!

From Venus (Sun Feb 18 04:27:23 2001 ):
Those of you who have the T-50 as I do, you can not set your own apetures or settings. They are preset in that camera. That is why I have recently purchased the T-70 so that I can do "speciality" photos.

From lanootie (Sat Feb 3 01:53:19 2001 ):
I have a t70 that I love! I received it as a gift 10 years ago and it has made wonderful family photos. I don't know much about the "tech" side of photography, I just play with it until I like what I shoot. My question is this........I would like to get a zoom lens for the camara, but don't know where to look. Any ideas?
From Jason W (Fri Feb 2 06:09:19 2001 ):

From Brian G. (Thu Feb 1 18:18:30 2001 ):

From Leslie (Sat Jan 27 06:24:21 2001 ):
I received a Canon T50 as a gift. I don't have the instruction manual for it. Is there a website, etc. where I can download this information? Or would it be available from Canon in an archive somewhere?
From Kai Pin (Tue Jan 23 11:41:31 2001 ):
TO MICHELLE TABOK: The Canon T60 was discontinued 11 years ago. Although it was a Canon camera, it was not made by Canon but contracted out to an independent maker.
From Nick (Tue Jan 23 09:43:30 2001 ):
hey! i was just given a T50 module for my b-day and i would like to use it for lightning photography. I was wondering if anyone knew how to overide the AE funtion so i can make my own settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
From Michelle Tabolt (Mon Jan 22 14:55:57 2001 ):
Hi I am new to this site but glad I have found it. I also have a Canon T60 and have replaced the body on it once already because of the mirror getting stuck. I purchased the camera in 1998 and have not been able to find another body for it. I was told when I replaced the body the first time that it would be hard to replace it due to the company no longer making the CanonT60 any longer. I am disappointed with not being able to get another body for it considering I have not had it all that long and also the fact that I have an additional lense for it and I purchased a CanonEOS Rebel X and the lenses are not interchangeble. Wondering if anyone knows how I can get a hold of the manufacture company so I can send them a letter to let them know how unhappy I am for the short lived life of my Canon T60! If anyone can help or give me any suggestions would greatly appreciate it! Thanks hope to hear something soon here or you can directly e-mail me at mtabot@gci.net Thanks Michelle
From Dave (Thu Jan 18 09:30:15 2001 ):
Hi all! I am new to this site, so lets hope I do this right. My question is: can you use standard manual focus FD lenses on a T-80 and if you cal, what will be the limitations other than you won't have an auto focus camera. Dave G

From colin nicol (Sun Jan 7 05:44:01 2001 ):

I have a Canon T50. I would like to use this camera for Wildlife Photography. I have the needed lenses but would like to have a wired remote control to help lessen camera movement.

I have just recently purchased a second-hand T50, with a Sigma 35 - 70 mm lense. As I am fairly new to SLR photography could anyone please tell me if manual setting of apperture is possible with this camera. When I try the different apperture settings there does not seem to be any difference in the picture in the view finder.
