The Canon EOS 5000 (sold in Asian countries as the EOS 888) was an entry-level 35mm autofocus single-lens reflex camera marketed by Canon in January 1995. The camera was introduced as a low-end camera for the European market, and was not sold in Japan or the Americas.[1]

Unlike most Canon EOS cameras, the EOS 5000 is primarily controlled by a single dial on the top of the camera.[2] The camera offers five fully automatic exposure modes, as well as shutter-priority autoexposure. No manual aperture control is provided.[3]

Along with renamed versions for different markets, a QD version which could print the date or time the photograph was taken was available. It was replaced in the market by the EOS 3000 in 1999.[3]
