Canon Film-based EOS SLR vs. Digital EOS DSLR

About 20 years ago, Canon released the first Film-based EOS SLR. It took Canon over 20 years to sell 30 million EOS where as they already sold 10 million EOS DSLR in 7 years. I think the 1987 camera doesn’t look like a camera from the 80s - Congrats Canon.

Wikipedia: In March of 1987, Canon’s 50th anniversary, the company introduced the EOS 650 AF SLR camera, the first model of the EOS series. The EOS 650 incorporated the world’s first fully electronic mount system.
