Classic SLRs Series : |
EOS-1 Series is Canon's flagship camera model which uses the autofocus EF/EOS system as the backbone. The Series which comprised of the original EOS-1 has evolved to the present EOS-1v (film based) to EOS-1D (Digital based) which widely acclaimed as the most used professional camera right now at the professional user's market. Here is a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon EOS-1 Series SLR model which aims for common support and sharing mutual knowledge among users. Hope fully it will see its worth in time to come.

Paul,
The EOS 1N RS, first launched in 1995 and featuring a 10fps drive speed in RS mode (compared with 6fps for the EOS 1N), is the same as an EOS 1N — the only differences being a power drive is booster permanently attached and particularly, the fixed pellicle mirror (ie. the viewfinder does not blank out during the exposure). Because the RS is a very quiet camera, it is entirely possible to 'burn' a roll of 36 exposure film in under four seconds!
I suggest you carefully read the instruction manual to understand the difference in operation with a fixed mirror as this is the chief definiing feature of the RS compared to a normal EOS 1N.

I'm just getting used to the EOS-1N RS and am finding the manual a bit unhelpful (it's biased towards the 1N).
When I set the main switch to RS and press the shutter release the camera will click as if it has taken a shot...................is this the autofocus kicking in as it doesn't appear to have taken a photo?
Thanks for your help,

Stevie,
Have a look at the EOS 700 page on this website. Although not an instruction manual, there is sufficient depth and breadth of information to assist you in navigating the EOS 700 camera.

Alternatively, Jessops cameras have EOS 700 instruction manuals in stock. See this page:

Paul,
You should not have any problems using NiMh AA batteries in the EOS 1N RS, although that camera pre-dates these batteries by a few years. I have a colleague who uses a Canon EOS 1N with NiMh batteries without drama and they perform well in cold conditions.
It is best to deliberately fully discharge NiMh batteries periodically and then recharge to extend their life and to keep a spare set on hand when you are away from base.

Hello,
I've just bought an EOS-1N RS and I'm really happy to be using film again.
Anyway, will I be able to use rechargeable NI-MH batteries in this camera? The ones I've got are 2500 mAh-1.2v
Want to use it in high speed mode to photograph an old WW11 Lancaster bomber taking off on Saturday.
Thanks for your help,

Stuart,
The 300 EZ flash, introduced in 1987 and discontinued in 1995, was not designed with the new breed of digital Canon cameras, specifically the EOS 5D, which has a totally redesigned metering matrice. The overexposure you mention is indicative of a mismatch between the EZ-series flash and the redesigned flash matrice in place on the 5D.
With the correct flash unit and the camera on Full Auto (green square), exposures should be correct (within established parameters of flash photography).
It is no surprise to learn that exposures with an EOS 1N and 540EZ flash are correct, for the two were made for each other and are still in very wide professional use.
Have a look at the EX-series Speedlights which are designed specifically for the digital Canon SLRs.

Hi,
I have recently bought a Canon EOS 5D digital SLR camera. I still owned a Canon 300 EZ speedlite. When I took an indoor photograph at about 1 metre the subject was overexposed. The setting of the camera was green square automatic. I tried programme mode. But basically the results where poor. I have had an EOS 1 with a 540 EZ and had no problems9.

Alice,
The numbers you are referring to are Canon model designations, and each model will be differently specified to the next, chiefly in terms of megapixels and technical features, of which today many people are unnecessarily burdened by. The two models you have mentioned are significantly different in specification and, more particularly, the price. The EOS 5D is, in the opinion of many photographers, astronomically expensive for what it is. I would be much happier recommending the EOS 30D over the professionally-pitched 5D; apart from being a heavy brute,it is definitely not a camera for beginners.
For photographing things like gymnastics I would be more inclined to put my attention on lenses. Will you be photographing up close or from a distance? If both, a zoom from wide to tele (e.g 100-300mm) may suit. Landscapes benefit from wide- to ultra-wide angle lenses (e.g 17 to 24mm). It must be stressed that the consideration of camera is secondary to the type of photographic subject you are interested in, especially since all digital cameras achieve the same thing in terms of image capture; even the number of megapixels is not half so important as it once (incredibly) was and 8 or 10 megapixels is plenty enough for printing your photographs to A3 and above with excellent resolution (if you also team the camera with a high quality L-series or digital-body specific Canon lens).
Landscape and water subjects will both require considered mastery of aperture and time values (notated in Canon-speak as Av and Tv respectively). Again, the choice of lens(es), and investment in a good tripod is more important than the camera. Once you have decided just what focal lengths are most of use to your chief subjects, then turn your attention to a camera you feel comfortable with (physically) and understand what it is doing and can interact with it.

I just got interested in procurring a digital camera. There's many things I don't understand to make a good dicision on which camera to buy. First what do the numbers mean for different cameras such EOS30D, EOS5D etc? I need a camera to take action shots such as gymnatics, landscapes and water. What do you recommend? What kind of lenses to achieve great pictures? If this is not the forum to obtain this type of information for a beginner would it be possible to recommend where I could get this type of information. Thank you for your time.
