Canon EOS A2 Repair

Introduced: 01/01/1992

Released in November of 1992, the Canon EOS A2 (also known as the EOS 5 and EOS A2E) is a 35mm autofocus, and autoexposure SLR film camera. The camera was created for the above-average user, but was also found adequate for professionals. In a world becoming increasingly dominated by digital cameras, the Canon EOS A2 remained the top choice for those wishing to remain on standard film during its time. It was discontinued in February 2000.

You can identify your Canon EOS A2 by the model printed on the front of the body of the camera in white. The serial number is engraved in the frame around the label on the camera's bottom. For additional help identifying your camera, take a look at the Canon support page.
