The Canon T-90 was the last model that uses FD-mount prior to the shift to the autofocus EF EOS system. It hardly lasted a year since its inception but what an impact it has created on the design of future SLR. Every inch a classic, despite after more than 15 years, this camera is still hard to replicate even by today's standard. It was also widely acclaimed as one of the true Classic camera of modern times. Here comes a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon T90 SLR model - this is especially useful when you realize ALL Canon FD mount SLRs have long been discontinued you may require a public forum for common support and sharing mutual knowledge or experience among many of you. This Site has proved to be quite popular and I am quite happy to see these effort was not wasted and special thanks to ALL the volunteered Site Maintainers of this Message Board. Enjoy.

1. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/ador/sumca.html list the CA-2D module as being suitable for manual canon cameras NOT the t90, who's right local shop? what harm could the flash do to my camera. 2. am i right to assume that the slow sync switch operates the flash in second curtain sync when switched on, if i can use the flash at all. one more question is there a correct module for the tank,and if so which, B&H lists the CA-3D as the module for EOS flashes without focus assist and for the T-90. I don't think there's a question of harm with the others, you just won't get TTL.

I use a 433D, which has a built-in Canon module on my T-90, and I get 1/90 sync and auto, but not TTL flash. And no, Slow sync and 2nd curtain sync are not the same thing. I may be wrong, but I think the T-90 will only do 2nd curtain with the 300TL.

Dear Ellen, a good question when you get into the cost biz I mean. As the learned gentlemen said, when you compare the T90 to the EOS lineup, you have to compare with some of Canon's best! bodies like the EOS 3 and maybe the Elan 7e. Now those have some nice features,not disputing, but please check out the prices on EOS lenses, especially the longer focal ones, the macros, and the zooms- ouch. I have 7 FD lenses, all of which I bought for pocket change and which I truly love; they sleep in a corner of Irwin's bedroom next to the pooch:-). So I am hooked on the T90 and if you are satisfied with the T50, you are going to love the T90, its actually a thing of byooty- designed by Luigi Colagno,one of the Bauhaus boys methinks. Buy one,try one, and you will join this online groupie club of "Tank" Fanatics. I would even go so far as to say maybe buy in UK ( ask around here), or check B and H in New York, or KEH in Atlanta(?). I think you can do well buy shipping from N.America if it comes to that, global aconomy you know. Getting a camera cleaned and checked out is worth a few extra Euros/kopeks as you can see they do sometimes need cleaning. I just can't warm up to a Rebel for some reason BTW, but that's Uncle Irwin. So bottom line, if you can get one for the equivalent of $450 US, you can't lose much even when you trade someday for a whole new (digital) system. My best advice in these tough decision days ahead, liebschen. Be well, Irwin, purveyor of kosher delicacies, dog treats and yoga mats.

Ellen, E 500 for a T90 is too much. I recently bought, also in Holland, a T90+300TL dedicated flash+28 mm+35-70 mm+70-210 mm+ 100-300 mm lenses+ carrying case for E 600. You should search at second hand sites to find a good deal. Good luck, Niels

Ellen - A few reasons: first off, the T-90 is a pro-built camera, very solid and probably the best feeling camera I've ever shot with. In terms of function, the big edge the T-90 has over the EOS 300/Rebel 2000 is the spot and multi-spot metering. The Revel just has partial and CW. There are many small ergonomic things that I think I would prefer about the T-90. Then there's the glass. The EF 28-90 that comes with that Rebel is not a very good lens. The 75-300 is marginally better, once you learn its limitations. I've owned both (I have an Elan 7 also) and sold both. Overall, FD lenses are far better at the same cost level. The best EF glass is superb, but you pay dearly for it. There are mid-range EF lenses that are excellent (like the 28-135 IS) , but you can still find FD equivalents for much less.

On the other hand, if you want autofocus, the choice is clear! But I own 4 different FD bodies and one EOS body, and out of them all the T-90 goes out the most. It's just a great camera, in a completely different league from your T-50 - you would never regret buying one.

As my T50 doesn't give me enough satisfaction as i would like, I am now searching for a T90. I know a supplier in holland who sells a T90 for 500 euro's. ... (so maybe the market is quite the same here as in Germany, Hootan...) At the same time i saw a complete EOS 300 V kit (body, 28-90mm and 75-300 mm) for 517 euro's... Question: Why spend 500 euro's on an "old" camera instead of spending a little more and have a brand new one...?? I still have doubts so please anyone.. give me an objective view on this matter.. Ellen

Peter, I suppose it could be any of a number of things but before taking any costly, drastic measures, remove the battery compartment and check to see that none of the batteries have become dislodged. You might also try replacing the batteries and make sure the compartment is properly seated. If that doesn't work you could try clicking everything clickable, turning everything turnable and pushing everything pushable. If none of the above bring the desired results, then, in my humble opinion the T90 definitely is worth repairing. However, someone with far more knowledge than I might come up with a much better answer. Good Luck.

Accidently dropped my fully working T90 from waist height only. It was secured in a padded bag, but has now ceased to function. I was able to manually rewind the partly exposed film, but am not able to wind on the film or operate the shutter. The LCD display is showing a frame count, but is locked on to the last reading made with the camera. Any help on identifying the problem, and whether it will be worth repairing. Thanks a lot in anticipation of some help.

Tony Dunne, To replace the strap lug, you must first remove the camera's front panel. This involves partially loosening the latch for the camera back. Then remove the top, including screws formerly concealed by the front panel. The eyepiece shutter lever must be removed. The hot shoe is connected by a number of fine, fairly brittle wires, which like to break off at the printed circuit end. It's not a truly major disassembly, but there are plenty of pitfalls, including stripped screw heads (get a superb screwdriver), the danger of broken wires, and I'd be concerned about static electricity damage to the electronics. If you're quite handy, it can be done. If you decide to undertake it, you'll need a few more details, too. Feel free to write me directly if you want to go deeper!

Tony Dunne - take a look at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CanonFD/files/Instruction%20%26%20Repair%20Manuals%20and%20other%20Resources/ - there's a T90 parts list/exploded diagram. It doesn't look easy to me (but I've never taken mine apart), but then again you may be a braver man than I!!!!! Cheers, Mark.
