I used to own an EOS 650. I found it pretty amazing that it was compatible with literally every Canon EF lens ever produced (although it didn't completely support some features, such as image stabilisation).
Unfortunately, my EOS 650 was stolen, but I replaced it with an EOS 55, which is even better (it also supports E-TTL speedlites). It's incredible how good the autofocus is for a camera built in the 90s. In my opinion, it wasn't until ~5 years ago that mirrorless cameras reached parity for autofocus performance.
The Canon EOS film cameras really blew Nikon out of the water. The loss of compatibility with the old FD mount lenses was more than compensated for by the massive gain in functionality they achieved by building a new lens mount designed specifically for autofocus.
