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.

Hello, I have contacted somebody on this website before, who gave me outstanding advice for my beginnerr camera when he told me to start with the Olympus 1-n. I did this, I have two of them, and I have loved every minute of it. However, I now want more and have been thing about the Canon EOS 1. It seems this will give me the additional flexibility of having autofocus (several modes) if I need it, more varied metering, coice of aperture priority, speed, both or fully manual, and up to 8pfs which I would like for taking shots of fast moving wildlife and of my children.
Can anybody advise me or perhaps give me a little more information about this camera for my next one, hopefully a camera I will be able to use for ever? Digital is not for me yet as far as serious photography is concerned although I do use one for its point and shoot capability (Panasonic Lumix FZ20). However, I might be able to lose that if I got the Canon?
I hope to hear back from someone.
Many thanks in advance and kind regards,
William Robinson

William,
I can vouch for the beauty of the Olympus OM 1N as I used that in the 1980s during my extensive travels. I assume you are referring to the EOS 1N, as the EOS 1 is now becoming hard to find in many places. Certainly, you will have the luxuries of one shot, AI servo autofocus, auto modes (Av, Tv, P, Depth, etc.) and metered manual exposure, with the addition of a sensitive metering systems (arbitrary spot, central fine spot, partial, evaluative and centre-weighted) and flexibility in setting the camera up the camera's operation (via custom functions) to suit your approach and technical preferences.
The EOS 1N still holds proud ground among professionals for its durability and especially, its capacity to accurately track moving subjects using AI Servo focus with any of the Canon EF lenses presently available. With the addition of the power drive booster E1 and suitably fast film, exposures will jump to a maximum of 6 frames per second, which is a little short of the present EOS 1V (the 1N's mega-heavy, ultra-tricked replacement) and its extravagent 10 fps rate (meaning -- beware -- a 36 exposure roll of film is burnt up in 3 seconds!).
You will need to consider the trade-offs if you need portability and speed as the 1N with the booster is a heavy piece of machinery, so carrying that pup around your neck or on your shoulder over long periods can be quite a trial (mine always hitches a ride on the tripod!).
Be aware the EOS 1N is a system camera and the depth and breadth of customisation frequently becomes an unexpected annoyance to many amateur users not accustomed to it. An excellent stepping stone up to the 1N is its "little brother", the EOS 5 (top speed of 5 fps with vertical grip VG-10), which shares many of the sough after features and custom functions of the EOS 1N, but is considerably lighter and exceptionally well laid out; I used my EOS 5 for 10 years before stepping up to the 1N with no hesitation. The EOS 5 has the same metering system (except fine spot and partial) as the 1N (incidentally, the EOS 1 was upgraded to the EOS 1N on account of the newly-released EOS 5 looking considerably more sophisticated at the time!). The addition of a surprisingly powerful pop-up flash on the EOS 5 may be of use to you for photographing the kids without having to fish around for a hot-shoe mounted flash!
Whichever model you select, shop around for very good used examples and be wary of the busted, bruised and broken/patched examples that have experienced trauma. I do not think these are a good long-term investment for non-professional users.
If you take an EOS 1N to a Canon dealer, they will be able to run computer tests (via the hot shoe) to determine how many exposures and rolls of film the camera has made. On the EOS 5, only the number of rolls through the camera can be collected from this test. --garyh.

Gary, I can't find the button at this page http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1n/Flash/Canon_540EZ/index.htm where roughly is it located?
***
The advice re switch is correct for the 540EZ as the 430EZ is not present here. The metres/feet switch is inside the battery chamber (of the 540EZ flash — right side very close to the top edge top when battery compartment is opened directly in front of you (door fully open on right). It is marked M F for metres and feet respectively. I will speak with Leo when he returns about a close-up shot of inside the 540EZ battery chamber showing the M F switch, as many people are not aware of its existence, save for a vague mention in the instruction manual. --garyh5.

As for the question, may be this will help:- There is a link for the instruction manul for the 430ez at http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1n/Flash/Canon_430EZ/index.htm Gary, I can't find the button at this page http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1n/Flash/Canon_540EZ/index.htmwhere roughly is it located ?6.

Is it possible to change the display on the Speedlite 430EZ from metres to feet?
***
A very small switch inside the battery chamber of the 540EZ (this is the next model up from 430EZ) enables the user to switch the readout from metres to feet and vice versa. I do imagine this facility is also available on the 430EZ flash, so have a look.--grh.7. From : David Haigh (no1traumanurse@hotmail.com)
