hi can anyone tell me what the best eos film camera to buy is i want one with motorwind and that is capable of a large number of frames per second!thanx
dont really have a budget i've just seen them going on ebay for peanuts and want one 'cos my lenses from eosd will fit but i want it for sequences really do you know how many f/ps it will do?
It will do 5fps it also has mirror lock up and spot mettering. Its a great camera some have had problems with the comand dial switch breaking this is because there is a button that needs to be pressed down and people dont always do it and this breaks the switch but most will have been replaced with a new switch and the new switch is a re-design that does not break.
The EOS 3 is also a great camera but will cost a bit more.

do ineed to buy a special grip or battery pack for it to operate at that speed?do you know what year it came out?tyhanx for your help by the way?i'll check out your folio in a minute.
Hi John,
I recently had to get a film SLR for college and I managed to get a good deal from here Came with a 3 month warrantee too. I got the EOS 1 for 200 (5 FPS) in the end and Im very pleased as a 1n was another 150 and was a bit over budget for me.
Digital EF-s lenses will not work on these film bodies though.
Hope this helps,
Joss.
i take it the higher the number(ie 300v or 500n) the worse the model becomes is that right?
Preety much yes they are the more basic cameras, the EOS 3 is a modern camera and the EOS 5 is over 10 years old now but is a great camera for its price you can sometimes pick them up on ebay for under 100.00 there is a battery grip VG-10 you can get that will allow you to use more battery power in the grip and also gives you a vertical shutter button.

what does the eos 1 have that seperates itself from the others.i was told my digi lenses would work with film eos's
Hi John, a lot is going to depend on your budget. The EOS 5 with 5fps will cover most requirements and has been said is available for little money.
The EOS 3 at 7fps (with powerdrive fitted) is still on the market today. I have owned both these in the past (in fact I have an EOS 3 + powerdrive for sale at the mo) The 3 IMO is the last 35mm camera you will ever need to buy, it is simply so far ahead of any other Canon model (without going to the 1 series) In fact it beats some of the older EOS 1's for features.
