This is the cream of film SLR's. It's built to last for years of hard graft and is very intuitive and easy to use. Multi spot metering is excellent. The viewfinder is full size which is important to me and so is the fact that I can adjust the eyepiece dioptre setting, something you cannot do on the EOS3 for instance, mainly because that camera has intelligent eye focussing. camera is smooth but not very quiet, choose another camera if you don't want to be noticed or heard. DOF button is present, which is another bonus for me. All in all, a superb camera for those still interested in film. It's still available from Canon uk at £1700 but you can get one for three to six hundred(mint) dependent on condition. A bargain. I use digital as well so I'm not a luddite but film still has that certain something in the look which digital can't achieve.Read full review
The 1V HS is the last 35mm SLR made by Canon and I was pleased to find it on eBay at such a good price. When it arrived, I was pleased that the condition was superb and have enjoyed shooting with it ever since picking it up from the Post Office depot. The only thing I dislike is not having enough time to go out and use it all the time!!
I bought this because I am a film fan, and particularly like the sound, ergonomics, etc of the 35mm slr camera.With the huge popularity of digital, film has fallen by the wayside, causing the used price of general film cameras to have dropped through the floor. Top flight,professional quality slr's can be obtained in good condition for, say, 20% of their new price. As a result, one can now possess the film camera they wanted 10-15 years ago, but could maybe not afford. The eos1vhs is a classic example of this; Canon's last and best pro film camera- costing about £2000 less than 10 years ago, but now a fraction of this. BUT, even though now 'cheap', one gets one of the best film cameras ever made,(in the same vein as the F5 or Dynax 9),with all the accessory back up etc that made it great then. And remember, an old digital does not take good photos; whereas an old film camera does. Canon eos1vhs;- big, heavy, ergonomically superb, great looking and sounding, pro spec camera that is as good as film 35mm slr's get.Read full review
