With slide film, exposure is much more critical. You have less than 1/3 stop
exposure latitude.

Canon sells the 1v HS, which is the 1v camera bundled with the Power Booster
PB-E2. The same Power Booster can be used on the EOS 1v and 3. It increases
the frame rate of the camera, and provides a vertical shutter release and
duplicates all the controls.

If I am a serious sports or wildlife photographer who owns one of the new
image-stabilized super-telephoto lenses, then I would choose the 1v. If I
need a 1v, I can always rent one to go with the big glass.
You can buy a Elan 7E ($530), the BP-300 ($70), AND a Canon 70-200/2.8
($1150 grey) for the same amount of money you'd pay for a 1v HS body alone.
