The '''[[Canon Inc.|Canon]] EOS 650''' is a [[135 film|35 mm]] [[single-lens reflex]] camera.

and discontinued in February 1989.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/eoscamera/650/eos650spec.htm |title=Canon EOS-650 – Technical Specifications |author=Foo, Leo |work=Photography in Malaysia |year=2002 |accessdate=3 October 2006|display-authors=etal}}</ref>  
It was the first camera in Canon's new [[Canon EOS|EOS]] series, which was designed from scratch to support [[autofocus]] lenses. The EOS system features the new [[Canon EF lens mount|EF]] lens mount, which uses electrical signals to communicate between the camera and the lens.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/1987-1991/data/1987_eos650.html |title=EOS650 |author=Canon Inc. |author-link=Canon Inc. |work=Canon Camera Museum |accessdate=3 October 2006 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060827013946/http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/1987-1991/data/1987_eos650.html |archivedate=27 August 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Focusing and aperture control are performed by [[electric motor]]s mounted in the lens body. The EF mount is still used on Canon SLRs, including digital models. Canon's previous [[Canon FD|FD mount]] lenses are incompatible with EOS bodies.

Canon's first EOS camera had the latest technologies, including a microprocessor and a Canon-developed '''BASIS''' sensor for high-precision AF. Canon claimed incomparable autofocusing for the EOS 650. A range of high-precision [[ultrasonic motor]] EF autofocus lenses were also developed successfully for the 650.

An EOS 650 was used in 1992 to take the first photographic image that was uploaded on the [[World Wide Web]], a picture of the band [[Les Horribles Cernettes]].<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9391110/How-the-first-photo-was-posted-on-the-Web-20-years-ago.html How the first photo was posted on the Web 20 years ago], Andrew Hough, The Telegraph, 11 July 2012</ref>

The [[Canon EOS 5D Mark III|EOS 5D Mark III]] [[Digital single-lens reflex camera|DSLR]] was announced on the 25th anniversary of the announcement of the EOS 650.<ref name=DPReview/>

==Variants==
The more advanced '''EOS 620''' followed in May 1987,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/eoscamera/620/index.htm|title=CANON EOS 620 QD (Quartz Date) film-based 135mm (36 x 24mm) format AF-SLR camera|publisher=Malaysian Internet Resources}}</ref> and the '''EOS 630/600''' in March 1989.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/eoscamera/630/index.htm|title=CANON EOS 630 QD (Quartz Date) film-based 135mm (36 x 24mm) format AF-SLR camera|publisher=Malaysian Internet Resources}}</ref> The 620 was equipped with LCD backlight, [[multiple exposure]] and auto-bracketing capability, and a higher [[flash sync]] speed of 1/250 and shutter speed of 1/4000. The 630/600 was the first EOS camera sold with different names in different markets (630 in Japan and USA, 600 in Europe) and the first available in multiple colors (the 630 in black or "metallic gray", the 600 only in "metallic gray"). All 630/600 models have faster autofocus with "focus prediction", 7 custom functions (including options for back-button focus and film leader out), 7 Programmed Image Control (PIC) modes and 5 frames per second film transport, an improvement from the 650's 3 fps. The [[Canon EOS RT]] is a [[pellicle mirror]] version of the EOS 630 with 8ms shutter lag and an additional eight custom functions (15 in total). Only 25,000 RT bodies were made.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/reviews/eosbodies.html|title=Discontinued Canon EOS Film Bodies|author=Bob Atkins|date=2 May 2008|publisher=Bob Atkins Photography}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/film-bodies/eos620.htm|title=Canon EOS 620 & EOS 650|publisher=Ken Rockwell Photography}}</ref>
