The Canon EOS RT (1989) is an EOS body with a **fixed pellicle (semi-transparent) mirror** — RT for "Real Time." Same body chassis as the EOS 630, but with the moving mirror replaced by a fixed semi-transparent mirror. Result: **no viewfinder blackout** at the moment of exposure, and faster shutter response (the camera doesn't need to flip the mirror up). 5 fps continuous shooting.

Released 1989 as Canon's first pellicle-mirror EOS. Production ran 3 years until 1992. Successor: EOS-1N RS (1995, pro pellicle body).
For sports/action photographers in 1989-92, the RT's no-blackout viewfinder was a meaningful advantage. Used at $200–500 in 2026; the pellicle mirror makes the camera unique among EF-mount bodies. Trade-off: half-stop light loss in viewfinder and exposure path; pellicle accumulates dust over time and is hard to clean without specialty tools.
Full Canon EF.
