However, other than action photography, there are two aspects where the use of the pellicle mirror outshines all the other cameras, when it comes to capturing the decisive moment or seeing whether your intended zooming effect is successful since there is no viewfinder blackout when using the EOS-1N RS camera. Like I said, the EOS-1N RS is a unique 35mm SLR camera. It may not be that practical in certain situations but nevertheless, it is still one of the best AF SLR camera ever made by Canon. In Malaysia, the price of an EOS-1N RS is about 40% more than the standard EOS-1N fitted with Power Drive Booster E1. Most of the accessories (except for the various power drives) that are made for the EOS-1N model are fully compatible with the RS, like the Eyecup Ec-II, Ec-Series Focusing Screens, Dioptric Lenses, Ni-Cd Pack E1 (for Power Drive Booster E1), Remote Switch 60T3, Wireless Controller LC-3 and Command Back E1. And, unlike the previous Canon SLR cameras having pellicle mirrors, which were all special limited edition models, the EOS-1N RS is a current, ongoing production model, albeit at a lower number of units produced monthly compared to the standard version.
