1989
The EOS 630 (EOS 600 in Europe) was the 5th EOS camera in Canon’s lineup. It followed the 620, 650, 750 and 850. According to Canon, it was a notch above the original prosumer-oriented 620 due to the faster AF speed and predictive AF. It lacked the 620’s higher flash sync, though.
The camera could be had in either black or metallic gray finish.
