An APS film SLR camera from Canon with interchangeable EF lenses and advanced autofocus modes.
Overview
The Canon EOS IX is an APS film SLR made by Canon. It takes interchangeable EF lenses. It has three autofocus modes: One-Shot AF, AI Servo, and AI Focus, so it can handle still and moving subjects.
