I am still obsessing over the possibility of getting an EOS 3 and using my 7 as a back up body. My greatest concerns have been alleviated with a bit of research:
Weight-I am told that without the power booster the weight is not too bad. Loudness-Well not too much can be done about that Metering-Apparently thegeneral feeling is that the metering is at least as accurate as the 7 and some would say even better...and you get a true spotmeter. Focusing-Again, most folks seem to think that the autofocus is at least as good as the 7 with the benefit of autofocus with the center sensor at f8. My only question now is that of where the camera is in the product cycle. Are we likely to see any type of 'upgrade' to the 3. My sense is that the new technology and 'upgrades' are more towards the digital arena and to more consumer models. Not really sure what they would upgrade in the 3...?newer metering algorithms ?make it lighter etc. Is the 3 likely to remain the 'low end' pro body for some time to come or is there likely to be a replacement soon? Also, one last question...my 7 is without eye control and the 3 has it...how good is the eye control on the 3 if you wear glasses and shoot with glasses on? If it doesn't work well,is manual focus point selection with the # of points reduced to 11 fairly rapid? Thanks.
