Is the EOS 1V much bigger than a F100 ?

Hi im thinking of getting one or the other.

Im erring toward the 1V due to the ruggedness and 100% veiwfinder.

But then I heard the f100 is nearly as rugged and much lighter!

Anyone know the respective weights of each and any serious flaws to each?

 

Doubtful anyone using both........why not do your own investigation and
access their respective web sites, www.canonusa.com, www.nikonusa.com and
compare? Will give you one thought to consider: F100 has built-in flash - 1V
does not, so doing any flash stuff with the 1V requires buying another
thingy; but then, comparison of the 1V should be with the Nikon F5, not the
100

Shoot'em up, with anything, Agfa, Fuji, Kodak and all the rest will love you
for it!!

Nope, not the F100--the N80 has built in flash.

 

The EOS 3 is at least as rugged as the F100 and better weather sealed - for
less money.

 

You can get the specs at the manufacturers' web sites.
http://www.usa,canon.com for Canon

Or you can check B&H's web site and compare.

As far as problems and flaws, go to
http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm for Canon info.

You probably gathered by now that I shoot Canon so I know next to
nothing about Nikon.

Once you decide on which fits you best you can't go wrong with either.

Sorry about that, the Nikon site is confusing in that regard. Specs for the
F100 refer to things like TTL flash, etc., without mentioning the
requirement to purchase a flash for those features to work

You're comparing apples and oranges.

The nearest equivalent Canon to the Nikon F100 is the EOS 3. I have
used both and they are excellent cameras. I have a slight preference
for the handling of the Nikon but I was very pleased with my EOS 3.

The nearest equivalent Nikon to the Canon EOS 1V is the F5.

I suggest that you should try these cameras before making a decision.
I further suggest that the choice of lenses available in each
manufacturer's range should play a very large part in deciding which
brand to go with.

If you believe that the choice of camera is more important than the
choice of lenses, you are probably making a big mistake.

 

As others have said, you're comparing apples and oranges; however, the f100
is smaller and lighter than the 1v, unless you strap on the "motor drive"
(they don't actually conain motors anymore, do they?). Then it's (more or
less) the same size and undoubtedly less rugged. The F100 is a great camera
all the same.

 

Both great cameras tied to fantastic systems, but as the Canon flagship film
body, the EOS 1V really should be compared to the Nikon F5, both are larger
and much heavier than the F100 w/o the MB-15 battery/grip. With the MB-15,
the F100 is close in size, but still a little bit lighter.

The fabulous EOS-1V has no known flaws (except that it uses film).
You want lightweight, get an ELPH.
