Quite sad, since even the cheapest cellular phone outranks any camera
on the market in night-time ergonomy, with illuminated buttons.
The 1v is hence still far from perfect (don't like the data-imprint
concept either, it should be along each frame), and hence analog
photographers (there is no digi-equivalent of infrared, both b/w &
color) will be left in the dark forever, if there won't be a next
analog EOS....
