Rolls of 36-exposure film that
can be shot with the Canon EOS-3 with the Power Drive Booster PB-E2 using AA-size
alkaline, lithium or rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries are:
- At 20-degree C = 85 rolls (Alkaline)
120 (Lithium) 35 (Ni-Cd)
- At minus 20-degree C = 5 rolls
(Alkaline) 50 (Lithium) 24 (Ni-Cd)
Shooting capacities are the same
when the PB-E2 is used with the Canon EOS-1N. For the EOS-1 and PB-E2 combination,
the results are also the same except lithium batteries are not recommended to be
used for the original model.
The performance of the Canon EOS-3
with the Power Drive Booster PB-E2 combination is about the same as the Canon EOS-1N
w/Power Drive Booster E1 when both cameras are used in AI Servo AF in CH modes with
ONLY the centre AF point selected.
But when the 45-point (EOS-3)
and 5-point AF (EOS-1N) sensors are activated, the former has better focus tracking
performances over the latter when used in AI Servo AF mode but still lose out to
the pellicle-mirrored Canon EOS-1N RS in similar fashion. (more on this later)
