Product Description
A EOS-3 SLR body without the lensCustomer reviews
Nothing better than a full frame
If you are used to cheaper DSLRs with their small viewfinders and 1.5-1.6 crop factors, you will love this camera. Excellent metering, very large viewfinder, extremely comfortable to hold in your hand. It just feels good and sounds good (the film winding sound).
Plus you get to enjoy your 17mm in full glory (as opposed to 17*1.6 mm)
One of the best 35mm flim SLRs
The Canon EOS-3 is about half the price and has most of the features of Canon's top of the line film SLR, and is in nearly every practical respect a professional-grade camera.
Why bother buying one now, in this age of digital SLRs? It would quite possibly be a bad decision as DSLRs are now reasonably inexpensive and so much more convenient. BUT... if you need full-frame coverage from your lenses, and don't want to pay $2800 for a Canon 5D, then you can get that with an EOS-3 (or, in fact, ANY Canon film SLR). If you want 45 autofocus points or eye-controlled focus, then you can get that on the EOS-3. If you want a fairly solid, professional-style camera body for less money than it costs in DSLR-land, then you can get that on the EOS-3.
DSLRs are largely replacing film SLRs, yet film does still have some special qualities that make it enjoyable. If you want to work with 35mm film (or, at least don't mind it), then the EOS-3 is one of the best cameras you can get.
Be sure to buy a high-quality lens to go along with it, like the 50mm/1.4 prime lens or the 24-70/2.8 zoom lens.
