My husband was talking with one of his co-workers who happens to own an
EOS-1N. He told my husband, "If Pattie is really serious about taking
sports photos, she needs a new camera body." (Quite an understatement -- my
Rebel was a good buy for the money but not fast enough for ice hockey.) He
suggested that I need the EOS-1V, and even crazier, my husband is seriously
thinking about buying me this camera for Christmas. However, I'd been
secretly hoping for the EOS-3 with the power booster since that seems to be
(was?) the standard for sports photography -- at least with Canon.
I was thinking I had until Christmas to talk him down to the EOS-3, but I've
been doing some reading, and finding all kinds of good things about the
1V -- especially for sports. If he's serious about getting me the 1V,
should I talk him out of it?

I used a 1v fcor a month on assignment in Alaska. Two things I did not like
aside from it being heavy.
There is no ECF. I meaa with EOS3 I can do the same point selection as the
1V. Second I hate having a 100% viewfinder. You will lose the edges if you
have your slides mounted or have standard size prints made. Unless you
always print 8x12 enlargements or 5x8 prints sitck with the EOS3. Its
viewfinder is better suited for the reality of results in prints and slides.
Unless you plan to hammer nails in the wall with your camera the EOS3 is as
sturdy as you'll need.
BTW, the person with the 1n who recommended the 1v to your husband, if the
1v is so great why hasn't he gotten one yet?
