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.

Hi, can the backup battery for the EOS1 be changed reasonably easy?
I understand partial dissembly of the body is required. As the camera is dead & doesn't get much use I'll try to do it myself, as the cost of a commercial repair is uneconomic.
Any info would be appreciated.

I have never, not ever, heard of anybody seeking to have the backup battery in the camera changed. If at all the EOS 1/1N does have a backup battery. Self-disassembly is not a recommended course of action as it will compromise the seals that guard against moisture entry and these are no longer available for replacement. I would suggest you have the camera examined to exclude any other problem beside that which you have suggested.

Will a CANNON ZOOM LENS FD 70-210mm 1:4 with Hoya 58mm SKYLIGHT Protector fit a EOS Cannon Rebel xt camera?
Moderator Gary Rowan Higgins (Australia):
No. Canon FD lenses do not have the AF mount or electronics compatible with the EOS bodies — either analogue or digital. Attempting to mount this lens to an EOS body will result in damage to lens and internal damage to the camera. Seek a dedicated EF-S digital telezoom for use with the Rebel XT.3.

Joseph,
The EOS 1N, like most of the professional-level EOS bodies, has a shutter duty cycle of around 100,000 cycles; this does not refer to the electronics, which of course last much longer. The duty cycle is somewhat speculative, however, derived from Canon's static laboratory testing and should not be interpreted strictly as gospel: many professionals are still using EOS 1N /HS/RS bodies which have most likely exceeded the published duty cycle benchmark. The EOS 1 & 1N were conceived from the outset to be very rugged and dependable workhorses and they are not going to fail suddenly for no apparent reason.
Authorised Canon service centres can attach a testing device to the EOS 1N and othe pro-level bodies via the hot shoe. This device interrogates the camera to obtain information on exposures, the number of rolls run through, shutter speed and f/stop accuracy, the number and type of errors and other technical information. From this information technicians can gain a very good picture of what the camera has been subjected to. The EOS 1N has now been in use for more than a decade and it is true that professional use would have pushed them hard and long. This is why the cameras must be examined before or immediately after purchase to ensure there is considerably more service life available for you to enjoy. Minor body damage is inconsequential (unless you can also see cracks or severe dents, indicating a drop from height).

Dear Moderator Mr. Gary, you are GOOD! I am using EOS888 (old, Asian model). Prices of film based SLR have been dropping, so, it is such a joy to poor man like me. Recently, I was offered with an EOS-1n @ USD$250-00. Works fine (except for a little paint off at the prism and the back). IS there a way to determine the exposure cycle (thanks to leofoo on his article on the exposure cycle) I guess that is a good way for people to determine the life cycle and not the year of produce. THANKS, Mr. Gary. You let me learn many things in your forum. Regards from Lisbon.5. From : Moderator Gary Rowan Higgins (Australia) (nomail@encable.net.au)

The Canon 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 USM was discontinued long ago. It did not have an image stabiliser; that feature came on later lenses, such as the 75-300 f4.5-5.6 USM IS model.

DOES THE Canon EF 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 USM have an image stabilizer?

Victoria,
If your camera is a Canon EOS model, it will take almost any Canon EF lens, the exception being some digital EOS models that are specially matched to EF-S digital lenses. The type of lens (focal length, whether it is zoom or a prime lens, etc.) you put on the camera depends on what interest in photography you have, additional to any budget constraints. Talk about this with a reputable camera dealer, trying on a selection of lenses so that you can get a feel for what is possible.

I don't think my other one was confirmed right...
But anyways, I have a Canon EOS Rebel(S) and at the bottom of the camera in roman numerals it says two..but I don't have a lens for it and I don't know what kind to get.
And I tried to put a picture of the camera in here but it said it was spam.

Seryn,
The AE 1 model was a trailblazer in its day and is now collectable, so hang on to it.
Canon's EOS 750, released in 1988 (at which time I was quite smitten by the art nuveau T90), is a pared down version of the EOS 650 and 620 — a camera quite suitable for point-and-shoot photography. It was the first EOS camera to feature a pop up flash and also a film pre-wind system, which neatly prevents fogging of an exposed roll of film if you should accidentally open the cover.
Note that the 750 is an all-auto camera with just Program and Depth, which may limit its appeal as your skills grow. Top shutter speed is 1/2000sec, which I consider more than adequate.
If buying second hand, it is important that you have the camera checked electronically for reliable function given the passage of 2 decades.

Greetings,
Just want to say thanks so much for maintaining this website. I visit quite frequently and have learned a lot from it.
Still using the AE-1 P, and have recently been given a Vivitar 28-85 mm lens to complement it, as well as an EOS 750 which I can't wait to try out, but it needs a new battery (and hopefully that's all.)
I am trying to decide which to take with me on holidays. The AE-1 is perfect for still shots, but I was wondering if the 750 would be better to capture faster action (my brother has a boat)
I don't really want to carry both, and since I've never used the 750 I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?
Also, I'd like to ask who has used the 800 film and how you liked the results?
