<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"]<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"]I use a 1V-HS because I still shoot film.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"]<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"]Today it’s probably only me who actually want to see an updated version of the excellent 1V-HS FSLR. Since 2000, the 1-series digital bodies carry on going, but the 1V-HS just stands at where it has been forever.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"]<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"]I like those changes made to the 1-series bodies throughout the years, mostly referring to a better 45-point focusing system with far more cross-type points, a more durable shutter, a better weather sealing, a more reasonable/logical control button arrangement and a better ergonomics.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"]<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"]I also assume that if Canon is still serious about keeping the 1V-HS in its lineup, upgrading by putting all the film stuff into a current 1-series body is neither hard nor too expensive to do. It might even save Canon some manufacturing cost by sharing the same battery, charger as well as all kinds of accessories associated with the current 1-series digital bodies.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"]<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"]I totally understand that film is now very NOT popular. But for people who still appreciate them or just for the sake of keeping a film camera alive (because Nikon has a F6), Canon should keep the 1V up-to-date. I’m not looking for a new model every three years or so, but updating the film stuff onceaDECADE shouldn’t be too bad of an idea.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"]<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"]In the end, I am a satisfactory user of the 1V-HS and I’m just simply wanted to see a better day with film cameras. They are lovely machines still today.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"]<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"]Hopefully no one’s going to seriously disagree with me…
