professional camera 2008-12-02
works properly.
there is no flash and sceen-selection wheel! great!
with 8 batteries in the power buster it weights quite a lot, about 1 kilo or something.
shutter buttons are very sensitive.
Now is the time 2008-07-26
I doubt that digital cameras will replace film. Now is the time to buy used SLRs and this is a great one. The body is sturdy and well built and just fits well in your hand. The buttons and digital screen work well, but pushing buttons in combination etc is a little annoying to me. I personally am partial to the knobs on the some of the older canon SLRs. The metering works well as does the autofocus although my experience has been that the autofocus on my older Canon Elan IIe is a little bit faster and just as accurate, perhaps because of the infrared autofocus assist light. Also, the electronic automatic focus point selection seems to work better on my older Elan IIe than on this camera, but the Eos 3 has a lot more focus points and I almost always wear glasses which makes it more difficult for the computer.

For those not familiar with the Canon selection wheels on the back of the camera and on the right front, it is a wonderful design and has been continued on this camera. My only gripe is that I really dont like the little compartment that you have to open up on the right side of the body in order to access certain controls. A minor issue though. I highly recommend this camera, and along with it, get yourself the cheap Canon 50mm prime lens and you will be off taking great pictures in no time.
Nothing better than a full frame 2007-09-01
If you are used to cheaper DSLRs with their small viewfinders and 1.5-1.6 crop factors, you will love this camera. Excellent metering, very large viewfinder, extremely comfortable to hold in your hand. It just feels good and sounds good (the film winding sound).

Plus you get to enjoy your 17mm in full glory (as opposed to 17*1.6 mm)
One of the best 35mm flim SLRs 2006-10-30
The Canon EOS-3 is about half the price and has most of the features of Canon's top of the line film SLR, and is in nearly every practical respect a professional-grade camera.

Why bother buying one now, in this age of digital SLRs? It would quite possibly be a bad decision as DSLRs are now reasonably inexpensive and so much more convenient. BUT... if you need full-frame coverage from your lenses, and don't want to pay $2800 for a Canon 5D, then you can get that with an EOS-3 (or, in fact, ANY Canon film SLR). If you want 45 autofocus points or eye-controlled focus, then you can get that on the EOS-3. If you want a fairly solid, professional-style camera body for less money than it costs in DSLR-land, then you can get that on the EOS-3.

DSLRs are largely replacing film SLRs, yet film does still have some special qualities that make it enjoyable. If you want to work with 35mm film (or, at least don't mind it), then the EOS-3 is one of the best cameras you can get.

Be sure to buy a high-quality lens to go along with it, like the 50mm/1.4 prime lens or the 24-70/2.8 zoom lens.
