Body durability and features that targets the full time professional and semi-professional like me. This camera is really built well. The fit and finish of this camera is excellent and regardless of the materials or combination of materials use to construct the body it is built tough and strong. I had the EOS-1 for 10 years and it never failed. I went to the EOS-1N for the mirror-lock, improved auto bracketing control(1/3 stop, .5 stop and 1 stop), and flash exposure bracketing. Also the 5-point focus selection point offer greater focus control than the single center one. I find the autofocus fast and metering to be great they more than satisfy my expectations.

None.

The EOS-1N is still a great pro camera even with the release of the EOS-1V. At this point in time I do not see the need for me to move to the EOS-1V as the 1N gets the job done each and every time. Now that the price has dropped the EOS-1N is a good pro level camera with features some may never use.

Build quality, speed, canon lenses of course

minor ones: battery level indicator, some important controls are inconveniently placed behind the little door.

This thing is built likea tank
I wa lookign for a nice A2e. Alas it didn't exist so I was left withat the then brand new 3 or a used 1n. I went fot the 1n. I love and have a bunch of canon lenses so that limited me of course. The 1n is a pro level camera. No it won't take beter pics per se but it will last longer theoretically. The 1n has a grater viewfinder image and has been taking great photos with the 540ez. BTW understand that a camera body is just a light box. SPend you money on lenses! I bought the 1n b/c it was a great used deal over the 3 and it will be the last camera I buy for years and years to come.

marvelous, simple camera. Rugged, reliable, no real bells and whistles.
Perfect Camera!!!

None, just a couple idiosyncrosies

My hands have started to shake a bit and I really hated the viewfinder on the G-2. I wanted to change systems, I chose Canon because of the IS lenses. I almost went with Nikon but for me, they did not have the right lens. What I really wanted was an updated EOS A2e. Since Canon did not come out with one, and since the price of the 1n came down a bit with the onslaught of the new 1v, I chose the 1n. I did not want the bells and whistles of the 1v, I wanted a simple, well made camera. Boy did I make the right choice! the 1n, coupled with the 28-135 USM IS lens is unbeatable! By the way, that lens does almost as good as the L-series lens in the Photodo MTF tests.

The EOS-1n is a solid built body.It's focusing system accuracy is tops in the industry.

Focusing point selection, spot metering not linked to outer focusing points.

If you want an affordable, bulletproof pro body, this is it. It's not the best at anything, but it is awful good at everything. Day in, day out, does the job with PREDICTABLE results.

Focusing speed is fast. However, when I tried a friend's F-5 and a 300mm AF-s lens I found that I was able to hold the focus of individual soccer players better while they moved erractically on the field.

No vertical focusing sensors
Flash system
No interchageable finders
No manual film rewind
Not as well-built as "old" F-1N or as Nikon's F-5-real-pro cameras are make of metal not plastic

Not as sophisticated nor as well-built as it competitor the Nikon F-5. I disappointed that Canon, maker of the rugged and dependable F-1N would build professional camera out of plastic. Perhaps Canon is begining to realize it's mistake in this regard when I read the specs of the new EOS-1V-more metal less plastic, more long term durability (better shutter), more sophistication (computer software). I'm can't wait to get my hands on one

Even with the new EOS-3, it is still the top Canon camera. When I purchased, I decided for it instead of EOS-3, because its reputation. With this camera, I am sure that it will never fail.

None.

This is a REAL camera, built like a tank. I have used under heavy rain with no problem. The only point to consider is to have spare batteries near you.
