The equivalent Canon film SLRs, the EOS 1v has a detachable motordrive all along. in fact, all their EOS series bodies have detachable motordrives and battery grips. it's Nikon that has the monster SLR in the form of the F5. now if u are talking about digital pro SLR bodies, then neither Nikon or Canon has a pro body DSLR that isn't a monster :) ---------- David Teo "Red Dawn" Boon Hwee On 18-Nov-04, at PM 04:48, Mark Rabiner wrote: > On 11/17/04 3:59 PM, "Mike Durling" <durling@cox.net> typed: > > Its like the f100 which did everything an f5 could do but was half the > size > as it didn't have a built in motor drive.
