The Canon F-1 is commonly regarded as Canon's first successful attempt to build a top-of-the-line SLR system camera for professional photographers.
There name covers two very different cameras: a fully manual model, and a later electronically controlled model. The latter is often termed the New F-1 or F-1N. (The earlier model exists in two versions; the later version is often termed the F-1n.)
