The Canon EOS-1v is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera from Canon's EOS series, released in 2000[1], it is the final film camera in Canon's landmark EOS-1 series of professional cameras. The body design formed the basis for Canon's subsequent Canon EOS-1D and EOS-1Ds families of digital SLRs.
Canon used the suffix 'v' because the camera introduced the fifth generation of Canon professional SLRs, after the Canon F-1 and New F-1, the Canon T90, and earlier EOS 1 models; Canon also stated that the 'v' stands for "vision".[2]
The 1v was Canon's final and only film-based camera that was still in production in early 2010. The EOS 3 and the Rebel were phased out earlier in 2008 due to the dominance of the digital market. Given market conditions it is unlikely that there will be a film-based successor to the 1v, leaving it with the honour of being the fastest moving-mirror film camera ever put into production, at 10 frames/second with the PB-E2 power drive booster and the NP-E2 Ni-MH battery pack. (Although the 1nRS has a higher frame rate, it used a fixed pellicle mirror rather than a moving mirror).
