I went through the same process a year ago and ended up buying an EOS-3. As others have pointed out, it all depends on what you want to shoot. Some cool things about the EOS-3 which made me buy it are :
* multi spot metering and spot meter linked to focusing point * excellent AF and focus tracking * E-TTL and high speed sync * of course, robust construction If you're into street photography / candids, the EOS-3 is not the best body for that - it's quite loud. If you can live with the 97% viewfinder, I'd recommend the EOS-3. Erwin Harkink (ELN) wrote: | I'm thinking of buying a second camrea body for using beside my EOS 50e.
