Comments about Canon Canon EOS-3 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera Body U.S.A.:

I have had my EOS 3 for, four years and it has made it thru 3 trips to the Mid east desert, Japan, Korea, Huricane Katrina and countless other countries, it has yet to let me down, I bought a EOS 1d to replace it two years ago but i still carry it as a backup. Its just a good solid camera.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-3 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera Body U.S.A.:

I am so satisfied with this product, that I did recommend and purchased one for a family member. The only thing that is not liked about the product, is that after about 16 rolls of shooting at one time, your arm does get tired. However, that is not an everyday occurance.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-3 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera Body U.S.A.:

Great workhorse of a 35mm camera. No failures, and I beat my gear. The eye control autofocus takes a lot of dedication and attention to use, but once mastered has some usefullness. I love Canon. I beat 2 Elan bodies into dust but it took several years.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-3 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera Body U.S.A.:

So many great features. The eye control focus point selection works great for me, and makes it super easy and fast to control the focus point (doesn't work so great for some other people). Fast continuous shooting and mirror lock-up are features I use often (in different situations). It's too bad mirror lock-up is set with a custom function- I'd prefer easier access to that mode. You can buy accessories for this camera to do anything you need to do. A digital camera that can do everything the EOS-3 can do is still $1000's more (or I'd have one). This is a fantastic piece of equipment.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-3 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera Body U.S.A.:

This was the second best film body that Canon made when I purchased it many years ago. It's a great camera that never failed me even in well below freezing outdoor use. I have since switched to almost all digital but have kept the EOS-3.
