Background

The Canon EOS 1000 QD, released in 1991, was part of Canon’s entry-level EOS series. Compact, lightweight, and affordable, it provided photographers with easy access to Canon’s EF lens system, which has remained the company’s standard for decades. The “QD” designation adds a Quartz Date back, allowing users to imprint date and time on their film—a popular feature in the 1990s.

Lens Compatibility & Format

This camera uses the Canon EF mount, compatible with all EF lenses introduced since 1987. It accepts standard 35mm film (color or black & white, 24 or 36 exposures). Film loading, advance, and rewind are fully automatic, making operation effortless.

Usage Notes

Designed for simplicity, the EOS 1000 QD offers full auto mode, scene presets, and manual overrides for creative control. Its motorized film transport and built-in TTL metering make it reliable for beginners and casual shooters alike. Requires a 2CR5 lithium battery to operate.
