I already had the same camera w/ lenses but the flash didn't work and it didn't have the remote. I basically bought this for the remote and manual but the camera is in better shape than the one I already had. I now have both cameras loaded with different speed film. Everything on this camera seems to work- even the flash. I have started taking pictures with it and the images are nice and crisp- again better than my other camera. Maybe someday I will go digital but with this camera that day isn't any time soon. (Yes, there are places that still develop film :) )

I'm on my second Canon EOS 630. Good value for money, but can be unreliable. This camera takes professional quality pictures when used with a 50mm f/1.8 STM lens. If you can find one that is gently used or well taken care of, I'd get it.

With EOS 6xx series Canon made its serious entry to professional SLR market. 650 was the first of these series and followed by 620. 630 makes the best of the 6xx series, combines the best features of its predecessor's into one. Its AF, which combines the best features from 620 and 650, was very fast for its time even today. This camera is a notch above the EOS 620 with faster AF speed. Like the EOS 620, the 630 QD has autobracketing up to ±5 stops (1/2-stop increments), maximum of 9 multiple exposures, 6-zone evaluative metering, and 6.5% partial metering at the center. In the AI Servo AF mode, the maximum shooting speed is 2.5 fps. In the One-Shot AF mode, the maximum is 5 fps. The body came in black or metallic gray. The price was the same for both colors. I also have a Canon Rebel TI, it is small and easy but I do not like its plastic feel and durability. Therefore, I bought this camera as an alternative to that. I user them interchanging. I should say 630 is terrific. It is reliable, fast, and feature full for main photography needs. The only thing I am kind of a little bit unhappy is the AF performance at low light, it can go to +1 EV, where as rebel TI can go down to -1 EV. Plus, there is no exposure scale and metering in Manual Mode. But for its age etc, it is great bargain and a adventure. The greatest flaw of this camera is lights seals close to shutter decays and become greasy after years. This creates a sticky shutter. Therefore shutter blades needs to be cleaned and sometimes maintained. I cleaned mine about 1 1/2 years ago and there is still no further grease sign. Be careful with the blades while cleaning because you can can crack them very easily. If you are not sure about yourself take it to a professional, it should not be a expensive job.Read full review
Actually this camera was part of a package auction, I was mainly interested in the flash that came with it. I had dusted off my old FTQL (Bought in Vietnam in 1968) and needed a flash attachment. As it turned out this Rebel is quite pleasing to use, and the FTQL is "back in the bag". I really like the auto-focus. The "beep" escapes me due to a hearing loss, but one can definitely see the picture come into focus. Now all I have to do is watch the auctions for some lenses, although the one that came with it is quite adequate for most of what I photograph. I only searched under Canon because I have always liked the products they have and the name just means "great camera" to me. Since having such a great experience with eBay, I have subsequently searched other brands and photo equipment. (also my first review, sorry for the awkwardness)Read full review
The Canon EOS 630 is a great film SLR camera, the latest from the 600-series film cameras. It's rugged and built well. However, it can be a little complicated to use (especially without a manual) and you won't be able to use some of the advanced features without a manual or reference. This camera also suffers from the "sticky shutter" problem. Canon built the shutter with a foam brake pad but the problem is these pads deteriorate with time into a goopy mess. This goo can coat the shutter and jam it. It is manageable, but an annoying aspect of the camera; since these cameras are old, you'll probably encounter this problem unless your shutter has been refurbished.
