As you can see the review isn't a short one so I'm evaluating the camera on an extended period and I haven't come to a definite conclusion with the shutter release yet.

I know *exactly* what you mean though, as coming from an EOS 5 there was a definite resistance in the shutter release signifying half way, and it was fairly tricky to accidentally misfire the shutter. On the EOS 3 it was quite easy to as the shutter release has an incredibly different feel to the EOS cameras I have used before now (e.g. the EOS 300/Rebel 2000.) That said I have got a lot more used to it, and I find just using the tip of my finger on the shutter release helps a lot.

I'm not decided what I prefer yet but suffice to say this is one of the first things I noticed about the EOS 3 compared to the 5 and 300. (The 300 is my brother's.)

Hello,

I have been browsing photo.net for a good four years (and probably longer as I'm

sure a friend used to post links to here when I first got on the web in '97/8.)

The wealth of information on this website is just sheer magnificence and that's

not even mentioning the amount of pure creativity I am fortunate to be able to

look through!

I have started writing a comprehensive review here of my 'new' EOS 3 which I

purchased after my 5QD died over Christmas. It was a toss up between the 1n and

if I was feeling uber-rich the 1v, that said the EOS 3 is far in advance of my

needs so it became my choice having had experiences with the 1n and 1v before

(albeit briefly for the latter.)

It's here on my blog:

I have written three parts and am working on the third but I haven't had a good

chance to shoot some slide film (Velvia no less) yet as the weather has been so

poor and I'm reserving judgements on the results until I have done that.

I'm not purely joining here to plug my review, I am hoping to take part on this

forum a great deal and also subscribe at the end of the month on pay day :) I

really enjoy this website and thought it was about time I tried to put something

back.

The review also touches on why I choose to stay with film in 2008 with such

fantastic Canon digital EOS cameras on the market like the 5D, 40D and 1D(s)

MkII/III. And it isn't all about cost (although I have no chance of purchasing a

1Ds MkIII even if I wanted to!)

Thanks and look forward to joining in with many forum topics and hopefully being

able to help even though my photography experience is short at four years.
