I am not sure about Canon since I think I never actually held any Canon SLR camera for more than one minute.
A friend of mine, who is a professional photographers, has an EOS 3. For me, it simply feels like a big, bulky and empty tank. The build quality is very low, my MZ-5n feels much better built. And the shutter noise... Hard to describe, but it's annoying. But it has a chassi of aluminium. I know this because the thin plastic has scratches so one can see the bare aluminium. Everything about it feels so cheap.
As for the discussion about *ist*. I think it is indeed a little too early to arrive to any conclusion. Though the number of crippled mount cameras grows dangerously. And now the new lenses.
There has always been one MZ-body with crippled mount (MZ-50 became MZ-30 which became MZ-60). And it will exist one *ist with crippled mount. So I can't say that the numbers are increasing.
I'm not worried about the new lenses. They're entry level.
My MZ-5n would be angry at me if I put entry level el cheapo plastique lenses on it. It deserves better than that. :-)
Best wishes, Roland
