The Canon EOS 5 (1992, sold as **EOS A2 / A2E** in North America, **EOS 5 QD** in Japan) was Canon's first SLR with **Eye Control autofocus** — a small infrared sensor near the eyepiece tracks the user's gaze and selects the AF point being looked at. The EOS A2E variant has the eye control feature; the A2 variant doesn't (just the same body without the IR sensors). 5-point AF, 16-zone evaluative meter, 1/8000s shutter, 1/200s flash sync, full PASM.
