February, 1986, Canon introduced a
top-of-the-line T-series camera, the T90 is a multi-mode SLR with
built-in motor drive. The form of the pentaprism hump is a distinct
characteristic. Instead of being sharp-edged like on previous
cameras, it is rounded with smooth curves. The camera was designed
to lessen the picture-taking burden on the user via automation. It
aimed for seamless operation to respond to the user's will. A lot of
top-notch technology and thought went into the camera. The camera has three metering systems to suit diverse shooting conditions. Eight auto-exposure modes and two manual exposure modes also make the camera highly versatile. Drive operations are divided among three small coreless motors to consume less power. With four size-AA batteries, the built-in motor drive can shoot at a maximum of 4.5 fps. It was truly a top-of-the-line camera. In Japan, the camera's nickname was "Tank." |
