Canon EOS 500N

This is the camera with which it all began. Back in 1998, Isabelle was looking for film camera with the best set of features for a reasonable price. As the EOS 500N was one of the "products of the year " according to the very reliable magazine "Chasseur d'Images", and she chose it against a similarly priced Pentax. Along with it, came a basic 28-80 and both were used for years until I (Olivier) took it and started to play with it on a summer afternoon. Browsing the manual, I tried almost every one of its features, discovering the possibilities of the first SLR camera I had ever used. This camera introduced us to the world of Canon SLRs and it proved to be a very good choice.
