The Canon EOS Rebel X is a 35mm camera. Built by Canon and introduced in 1993, it is very similar to the Rebel XS, but the model without the "S" is missing the built-in flash. It was only sold on the North American market.
The lenses of the Canon EOS Rebel X are interchangeable. Therefore an EF bayonet was built into the camera. Often you can meet the 35mm camera with the Canon EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II USM. Manual focusing is not necessary with the 35mm camera. The Canon EOS Rebel X has an autofocus.
The camera has a built-in light meter. The light meter is built for films with a sensitivity from ISO 6 to ISO 6400. The camera reads the ISO value via the DX code on the cartridge.
If you want to take long time pictures, there is the bulb setting. The shutter can remain open for a variable time and expose the film. The regular shutter speeds range from 1/2000 second to 30 seconds.
An external flash can be triggered by the built-in hot shoe. The 35mm camera comes with a thread for a tripod. There is also a self-timer built in.
The dimensions of the 35 mm camera are 14.5 x 9.2 x 7 cm according to the operating instructions. It weighs 315 grams, 55 grams less than the Rebel XS. The power source of the 35mm camera is a 6V 2CR5 battery (eBay / Amazon*).
