Ah, this I've read, but I don't interpret it as double
wires. I think what they're talking about is switch
contacts. That is, each switch has double contacts,
so if one gets dirty or corroded, the switch will
still work.
As for the 3, here's what the EOS 3 brochure says:
"...electrical contacts being bipolar and gold-plated.
Even if dust or grit causes problems for one
electrical contact, the camera can still continue to
operate normally."
So I think the 3 is the same as the 1n in that regard.
