john_clark17 Posted October 21, 1999 Share Posted October 21, 1999 Hi, <p> I was just wondering if anyone can substantiate the current rumours I've heard about an EOS Pro, to replace the 1n? I have a 5 and anolder 1000Fn, and I'd like to replace the 1000Fn with whatever iscoming next. I'd buy a 3 but for the fact I believe it to be thereplacement for the 5 and would rather hang back and see whatCanon does. Nevertheless, I'm keen to find out if anyone knowsanything. <p> My main problem with the 3 and 1n is the transport noise, whichI've found to be noticably higher than the 5. Then again, I'dlike a 100% viewfinder and the more rugged build of the 1n, butwith the more advanced focusing and EC of the 3. <p> Sigh. Maybe I'm hoping for too much.

kurt_heintzelman Posted October 21, 1999 Share Posted October 21, 1999 John: I recently posted a summary of a conversation I recently had with a well-regarded Canon rep. about this issue, and it was soon deleted, which I find unreasonable. I was told that we can expect a successor to the 1n to be unveiled at the up-coming PMA show in Vegas, around the end of February. We can expect it to be updated much like the EOS 3, but with 1n-like features such as 100% viewfinder coverage, viewfinder shutter, high speed & beefy motor drive, and more rugged construction. No comments were offered about whether its metering system would rival the latest Nikon bodies, but I suspect this is in the works. Also, no info was offered about release or expected delivery dates, or price, but I'm making a ballpark guess of about $2500.00 for a non RS version. It was stressed to me by this Canon rep. that Canon will not pre-announce this camera prior to the next PMA, but yet this rep. was certainly willing to confirm my long held suspicions and wishes that an updated 1n was indeed on the near horizon. It will be interesting to see what new lenses Canon might co-introduce with this latest flagship body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
