Canon divides their camera's into a type A or a Type B. Can anyone tell me where to find a list of what camera is what type.

THANKS

Steve,

Type A vs. type B?

Actually, I've never heared of that.

You can divide Canons cameras in FD vs. EF mount, and analog vs. digital, and (with the digital EOSs) EF only vs. EF and EF-S.

Rainer:

On page 2 of the MT-24EX instruction manual "This instruction booklet has separate sections for Type-A and Type-B EOS camers"

So I am looking for a list to tell me which camera falls in which group.

Thanks Jeremy. That is what I was looking for

All E-TTL or E-TTL II capable bodies are Type A. Bodies limited to TTL/A-TTL are type B.

I think Canon has since given up on said terminology, probably because all EOS bodies have been Type A for many years. It's unfortunate terminology. Type A/B terminology has gone the way of the Creative Zone, Basic Zone and Command Dial. I think the last type B body in production was the EOS 5/A2E/ A2, and it was discontinued 6 years ago. The first Type A body was the Elan IIE, circa 1995.
