  That sort of makes me wonder if Canon is slowing down on new film 
body development, having reached the EOS 3 and 1v. Already we've seen 
that cameras like the EOS 30/Elan 7 have no real technical 
innovations in them - it's simply a repackaging of earlier 
developments. Presumably the emphasis now is on improving the digital 
lineup and things like lenses which can work with digital cameras. I 
wouldn't be surprised if whatever model follows the 1v will be the 
most sophisticated film camera Canon ever builds.
