Glamour photography is another area where you will find the Canon EOS-1N RS to be indispensable. Getting the exact spontaneous moment recorded on film is far better than most other conventional 35mm SLR camera available. Whenever I am at such an event, like those media photo-calls of beauty pageant finalists, celebrities, catwalk models, etc. - where rather than waiting for the subjects to prepare for the standard "Say cheese! And the rest of the photo corps will start clicking" procedure, I would start snapping away the moment I have my camera/lens combination ready, on the lookout for any candid moments, when someone may make a funny gesture or happens to be in an awkward position.

In addition to the limited edition EOS RT and the existing EOS-1N RS cameras, certain point-&-shoot models in Canon's own Prima range of 35mm compacts, like the Prima Zoom 76 and 85 as well as the Prima Super 120, do feature a Real-time function for those moments when the user wishes to shoot the subjects in real-time conditions. I have used the Prima Zoom 76 for the inaugural Japanese GT Festival 2000 held at the Sepang F1 circuit in June, in addition to the EOS-1N RS. Having gotten used to the various EOS 35mm AF SLR cameras over the years, it can be an awkward experience for me to shoot subjects with point-&-shoot 35mm compacts, including the Prima range of models. Which is why I prefer to use the Real-time function available in these selected Prima models for most of the photography work during the various field-tests I have done on them. And the Zoom 76 is of no exception. The Real-time function allowed me to get the shots I wanted without waiting for the standard (and much slower) shutter release time-lag common with most 35mm compacts.

But for people like me, I can feel the difference immediately. The slowness of the 35mm compacts to immediately record a fleeting moment is usually lost whenever the subject blinks, loses a smile or simply walks away (if it is candid) before even the built-in lens shutter of the cameras can open up to allow light to strike the film. It is also here that the EOS-1N RS shines as in the past, professionals who could accurately predict the exact moment of exposure with conventional cameras didn't have to do so with the RS. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .
