Aimed at the professional market, the EOS 1 is notable for being a major game changer for Canon. For the first time ever, Canon's standard USM lenses offered better focusing performance than Nikon's professional lenses on the then-inferior Nikon F4.
The EOS-1 (1989) was succeeded by a few improved models and variations:
- EOS-1n (1994), with improvements in focusing system and various iterative improvements.
- EOS-1n RS (1995), with a pelicle mirror similar to that of the EOS RT and older Pelix.
- EOS-1v (2000), the final version, and the fastest SLR camera with a moving mirror.
The last in the series, the EOS-1v is still in production as of 2010, making it one of the longest production runs for a camera in recent history. Its digital successors include the EOS-1D and brethren Mark I-IV, themselves very heavily based on the 1v.
Notable features and specifications
- 5.5FPS with extremely fast focusing times.
- Canon EF mount, using internal lens motor.
- Shutter Speed Range 1/8000 - 30 sec. and bulb. Can be set in 1/3-step increments.
- Film speed: Auto DX; 25 to 5000 ISO (1/3-step). Manual; 6 to 6400 ISO.
- Metering range: 0 to 20 EV with f/1.4 lens (ISO 100)
- FP Shutter Travel Time (X Sync Speed) 1/250th
- Power: 1x 6v lithium 2CR5
- Dimensions: 6-5/16" (W) x 4-3/16" (H) x 2-13/16" (D) (161 x 106.6 x 71.8mm)
- Weight: 1.9 lbs
