Rock-Solid, Powerful SLR Camera

byawilder Oct 8, 2002
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Responsive and Fast; Eye-Controlled Auto-Focus
Cons Heavy, no built-in fill flash
Recommended it? Yes

The Canon Eos-3 is a sheer joy to use. Although fairly heavy (as most pro setups are), it has an excellent balance and comfortable grip (especially for a guy with fairly large hands). The camera is solid and extremely durable, and is water-resistant - a few drops of rain are no problem.

Pro or Not?

bytompc Jul 9, 2001
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All the latest technology from Canon
Cons No flash, pricey
Recommended it? Yes

The EOS 3 is a tempting piece of technology, even compared to the newer EOS 1v, which it pretty much matches in features (but without the extensive weatherproofing) at about half the price.

If you're an advanced user, the high speed shutter, durability, available grips and motor drives... Read full review »

The Camera for Semi-Pros

byhaeber Apr 15, 2002
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 45 point eye-controlled auto-focus, professional, durability, compatibility
Cons expensive for amateur users, not digital, becoming obsolete
Recommended it? Yes

The 45 point eye focus is extremely helpful in certain situations, but when lines are encountered in the photo, the focusing will show preference to the lines, and that is troublesome when you don't want to focus on the lines. The body is durable, but not as durable as its counterpart, the Nikon... Read full review »

It could have been so much better!

bypropho Feb 18, 2001
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast AF, ease of use, lightweight and quiet.
Cons Tends to underexpose by 1-2 stops, Eye control not good with glasses wearers, viewfinder...
Recommended it? No

Canon decked the Eos-3 out with all their technological advancements which can either help or hurt the use depending on their background. The controls are relatively easy to use although remembering which button combinations to push to get to what you need can be a headache and slowwww. These... Read full review »

Canon EOS-3 Camera

Pros This camera is the best on the market right now. Takes great pictures and excellent...
Cons NO CONS to this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recommended it? Yes

Anybody who dismisses this camera as being to "plasticy and clearly not sturdy enough"
after having held it in hand only once is WRONG, plain and simple. Yes, if you compare
it to an EOS-1n, against which it competes as top-of-the-line model, it is _lighter_, but it
surely is at least... Read full review »

Pros Features, features, features, Oh, and Canon quality of course.
Cons none noted
Recommended it? Yes

just a note to point out that the American version of this camera is known as the EOS ELAN 7E (when buying eye control) The same camera as the 30/30E.

As the first reviewer of this camera on epinions, I feel a certain obligation to set the standard for those to come.
Aw, the heck... Read full review »

Some Sigma lenses need re-chipping

bypicsee Jan 27, 2001
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Plethora of features, Canon quality and build.
Cons Eye controlled focus not very accurate
Recommended it? Yes

I agree with most things that Jules has to say about the EOS 3, except one thing, "It works with all EOS system lenses (Canon and 3rd party)" I own a Sigma 28-80mm zoom lens and a Sigma 100-300mm macro zoom lens and both had to be returned to Sigma for re-chipping in order to work with the EOS 3...

Best value Canon auto focus in production

bydfarra Dec 8, 2003
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Solid professional quality camera representing a good value.
Cons More camera than needed for weekend shooters.
Recommended it? Yes

The EOS-3 represents the best value in the Canon auto focus line up today for the advanced and professional photographer. The camera is designed for rugged outdoor use and is well sealed against the environment. While supporting advanced electronic flash operations such as multi flash exposure... Read full review »
