 Battleship Strengths: There is currently simply nothing to compete with this Camera. It is two years old. But the resolution of 16-Mp is still the highest you can get in a Single Lens Reflex....... by far!
Weaknesses: The camera body is unnecessarily BIG and heavy. It also has a very difficult to remember illogical set of control buttons and commands and no build-in flash. And it is very expensive.
Summary: When I am shooting outside with plenty of time and light I use this camera. The 16-Mp image is unbeatable. You can crop even small parts of your image for a usable photo. But it is so heavy and difficult to control (because of an old control system that grew out of an agreement with Kodak that ended a few years ago) that I quickly fall back to the 10-Mp Canon Rebel XTi for rapidly changing conditions or situations where I have to hold onto the camera for several hours.
I am sure Canon has a replacement design at somewhere between 18-23 Mp that uses a single memory chip, a smaller battery, and a smaller body. But we are unlikely too see it until some other company mounts some kind of completion to the EOS-1. Until then the EOS-1 is Canon’s cash cow..... and the uncontested King of the digital photography world.
