I changed 500N to EOS3 (before 30/33 existed). The shutter noise is
considerable higher on 3 than on 500N; in fact, it surprised me.
>What drawbacks do you think the EOS 3 has?
I suggest to put on a list the plus and minuses of both bodies. From memory:
EOS3 Pluses / 30 minuses:
- Spot mettering and multi-spot mettering
- 45 focus points
- 7 fps
- Somewhat more rugged
- can autofocus at f/8.0 (central autofocus point)
- Interchangeable focusing screens
EOS3 Minuses / 30 pluses:
- Price
- Weight. That can be a plus if you use very big lenses (better
balance)
- Lack of integrated flash
- User interface. Even being easy to use, I prefer the wheals
based user interface than the buttons ones (matter of taste).
- Shutter noise
- Eye control focus reported to be not very reliable when used by
some people wearing glasses.
Probably now I'd buy 30 instead of 3 because of the reduced price and
weight, and because I'm not using many of the extra features on the 3, and
I could live without the ones I'm using. And I'd invest the remaining money
on lenses.
