Camera canon EOS-1V in excellent condition,
The EOS 1V was the camera that captured most sports and news photos seen in magazines from its introduction in 2000 until Canon's DSLRs had enough quality to replace film around 2005. Newspapers had gone to DSLRs in about 1999, but for color weekly and monthly sports magazines, 35mm film shot in the 1V ruled until about 2005.
Because the 1V was the top go-to camera for pro sports shooting, most of the used ones today are battle-worn veterans, not cream puffs pulled from some rich hobbyist's closet. Back in 2000, few rich guys bothered with pro 35mm cameras; they bought Hasselblads instead. That's OK, because the 1V is born to run and shoot hard. I wouldn't worry about buying a worn one; that means it shoots and shoots well.
From a shooter's standpoint, the EOS-1V is a joy to use. Everything feels great and works fast and easy. It's solid, fast, smooth, quiet and simple.
The finder is clean and clear, with AF points that light up only as needed, and then disappear — unlike any Nikon AF 35mm SLR.
Autofocus just goes, immediately focussing in any kind of light — better than some of Nikon's newest DSLRs like the D600, which will choke and stall in very dark light.
Introduced in 2000 as a professional camera designed for professionals back when we still had professional photographers, it has only what it needs, and isn't trashed-out with junk features for online hobbyists. This camera is designed for serious shooters, not for feature hounds. The EOS-1V gets the job done fast, letting the pro get on to his next paying gig.
The EOS-1V is a solid, professional camera made mostly of metal. The EOS 1V is a ruggedized, solid-magnesium-alloy version of the mostly plastic EOS-3, without the EOS 3's mind-controlled autofocus. With this EOS-1V, you have to select your AF zone with the dials, not by just thinking about your subject.
