Canon introduced their first ever autofocus film SLR in 1987, the EOS 650. It was followed by this EOS 620 in 1988; it had similar features to the former model but with improvements (eg. faster shutter speed max at 1/4000"). My only reservation of owning one is that it uses expensive 2CR5 lithium batteries (a shop in Cubao sells one for PhP450.00).
