That was entertaining. I switched to film (almost exclusively) because digital was allowing me to be a lazy photographer. For most of us (i.e. not a 60's war or sports photographer with an infinite budget for film and developing), film is not fast. It slows us down and makes us work for the shot -- standing on things, laying on the ground, climbing -- and especially to nail exposure. It is work, but the result is better photography and less time on the computer choosing one of 300 photos from a digital. Film is a discipline that makes us learn to be better.
Awesome camera. Relax, I'm thinking you'll be fine after a couple more rolls. The camera will focus really well, I think you are using too slow shutter speed for the way you move around. (I've shot film for over 55 years)
It seems that when you shot in portrait, you were holding the camera upside down. Your camera has a “vertical” grip which adds a second shutter button. It is designed to have the shutter button at the top in portrait mode. Have you discovered the vertical shutter button yet?
I really enjoyed my 1V but still want to get a original battery for it to reduce the size and weight :( It’s gonna cost over $100 though, that’s why I still haven’t pull the trigger yet 🥹
the more I see these videos the more I want a canon 1V .. Because it has AutoFocus and self rewinding... currently I have a Canon Ftb camera .... Though my primary camera is EOS R6 .... I feel the AF in 1V will make me use it in more professional scenario without slowing down
I never used the eos3, but from my understanding, there are not much of difference in terms of image quality as long you are using a good lens with it~
Hi Sam, i have 2 of them, one is never used in the box, the another one is my working horse. yes it's big, fat and heavy but for me the best film camera ever made by Canon. There is a hype with leica film cameras i know it but it's not the same way to make pictures. you have AF on board its great for street and people photographie. perhaps you should use it without the booster so your 1V will be lighter to handle and carry around. Rgds Murat
I was looking for a original batteries for this camera replace the grip, but haven’t purchased one yet. The only reason I would like to get something like Leica will be it’s size. People are more sensitive then they see a big camera like the Canon 1V, and a lot of the locations you will need permits to shoot. Smaller camera is just easier to hide, easier to pretend to be a regular tourist~ LOL
If you thought there was pressure shooting 36exposures try shooting 12 exposures of 6x6 medium format.... where every individual frame is 2 to 3 dollars....
There are actually three models of the EOS-1V series: 1. ATG/Canon EOS-1V HSr 2. Canon EOS-1V HS 3. Canon EOS-1V Only the ATG can shoot up to 10fps using just AA batteries plus wireless radio camera trigger. So there is no way a Canon EOS-1V HS can shoot up to 10fps out of the box. Sam & eyeglasses users wearing mask, take out your glasses & adjust the 1V's diopter wheel, then you don't need to wear your glasses. Because the mask will fog up the glasses.
@@itscapturedbysam You purchased the Canon EOS-1V HS model. Many photographers shooting films have to be careful not firing in HS & HS2 modes (unless shooting sports /or wildlife). Film/develops/print = H costs Nevertheless, Sam, if you want to shoot up to 10fps reply back with your email. For now the HS is up to 6fps. You got a good buy for the 1V HS while many are fooled paying for 1V at the price mentioned. Well done on this video clips.
@@bngr_bngr No way it can do 10fps unless you are using ATG or Canon's battery pack on Canon EOS-1VHS. So 8 AA will not get you 10fps. It's disabled 10fps. So pressing the Mode will not get the extra high speed icon of 10fps.
Hey Sam, I just came across your channel recently, two points: 1. Since you don't need the higher speed and larger battery, you might want to remove the grip which makes the 1V lighter to operate. 2. I know it sounds backward, but you might want to purchase an older EOS 1D body (before 1D Mark III) to get used to the control and operation of the 1V without wasting films. The older 1D was directly developed from the 1V and had a lot of similarities. They are not overly expensive now on Ebay and you can gain your experience and confidence from the digital one before move to the film.
I've been looking for a battery for the 1v in order to not use the grip, is the GR-E2 battery grip that I need to buy? I just looked it up, they are pretty pricy 🥲
@@itscapturedbysam You are correct! moment after I clicked the reply, I realize you need the GR-E2 grip and one 2CR5 battery. Ye it is kind costly, so, I guess a little bit weight doesn't hurt the wallet.🤣
There a lot of Canon V1 offered on eBay. I wonder why? Does someone brought off all Canon v1 as Canon wanted to get off the storage? I shot a Canon Eos 100 for ptetty low money. If you shoot in on fim you you often decide not touch the shutter button. 36 pics for a day must be enough. With film you always want to shoot the best one. Shooting digital makes you to shoot a lot if waste photos. Start shooting digital and thing analogue. Press the shotter only if you found the best picture.
Yeah, you'll find a lot of them around because they were THE Canon pro body right as digital was taking over the industry. A lot of working photographers who owned this camera were literally among the first early adopters of pro digital shooting in the early 2000s. I remember it well. Plus Canon made it cost effective because you could carry on using your EOS "L" lenses. The caveat here is that because these old film bodies were pro bodies, you can expect many of these cameras to have had hard lives...something to keep in mind if you're buying any pro body used.
"the camera is very simple and easy to work with" Things could not be further from the truth. I had to download the pdf manual to my phone to setup my camera, including rear sync, back-button focusing, focus point limits, etc. It's impossible to operate the camera without the manual by your side until you memorize all the settings. What's worse, I cannot find an ES-E1 cable, rendering the P-Fn functions unadjustable, I can't even set the minimum shutter speed in Av mode without the cable!
I use very a little functions of this camera since I only shoot manual mode and single focus point 😅, I'm sure there are whole a lot I can still learn from the user's guide, it's a flagship camera, there must be many thing this camera can do that I don't know of...when I say easy to work with I mean for me is was easy transition from Canon digital camera.
Sorry! Forget Film, it's not better. Price and cost are not the standard. Digital is fun. I was a pro for genrations! Think! Compare! Film is different not better.
It’s better in certain way, I just had a shoot that’s too fast paced that I can not work with film, and I do still use digital for a lot of my works.. they are both fun to me ☺️
Sam... I've said this for a few years, a successful photographer should learn to slow down and understand film. I'm 71, using a Lumix G9, Nikon D850, any film camera is a Hasselblad 503cx. Like your video's and keep up the good work you do. GRINS
I have one of these big beautiful monsters and I love it! Keep practicing and you’ll get the hang of it.

I totally agree, the process can be really frustrating sometimes… but it is a very good training for sure.
Cheers from Poland ;3 I like shoot on film too ^^
Still have mine, absolutely mint, love it! 😍
Besides the weight I absolutely love this camera!!
Great video, Great photos, Great camera! 👍🏾
What a great camera, and what an adorable video!
I want this camera!!!!!!!
Even I only used it once so far, I already love it. Will definitely shoot more on this camera down the road!!
@@itscapturedbysam practice makes perfect :)
Thats my main go to camera love it, especially cause my EF lenses work with it ! I use a Canon F-1 as my secondary.
I like this camera so much I start to grow some arm mussels hahahahah~ 😂
Awesome camera. Relax, I'm thinking you'll be fine after a couple more rolls. The camera will focus really well, I think you are using too slow shutter speed for the way you move around. (I've shot film for over 55 years)
Excellent! Welcome to the wonderful world of Film!
It seems that when you shot in portrait, you were holding the camera upside down. Your camera has a “vertical” grip which adds a second shutter button. It is designed to have the shutter button at the top in portrait mode. Have you discovered the vertical shutter button yet?
I know 😂 I’m just not used to the vertical grip~
I thought my Canon 7D with the battery grip mounted was huge, but after seeing that 1V, now I see my 7D as a tiny object. Awesome camera by the way!!
I really enjoyed my 1V but still want to get a original battery for it to reduce the size and weight :( It’s gonna cost over $100 though, that’s why I still haven’t pull the trigger yet 🥹
Yes, get either the GR-E1 or GR-E2 “standard” grip as they both fit perfectly. The GR-E2 has some weather sealing but functions the same.
3 out 5 unboxing, 5/5 photography! Would you risk to do client work with film?
With practice, once I get more comfortable with it I’ll for sure do client work with film.
the more I see these videos the more I want a canon 1V .. Because it has AutoFocus and self rewinding... currently I have a Canon Ftb camera .... Though my primary camera is EOS R6 .... I feel the AF in 1V will make me use it in more professional scenario without slowing down
That 1V strap!!! Jealous!!!
what do you think about the EOS 3? Can i buy that eos used in bs as, Argentia. I prefer the fim ilford.
I never used the eos3, but from my understanding, there are not much of difference in terms of image quality as long you are using a good lens with it~
Does your film keep you awake at night? Like when you're waiting for it to come back?
That why I develop and scan my films my self now~ 😂
I just ordered my first film camera so I can't wait 😄
为什么在EOS 1V上使用EOS 5D mark IV的肩带？这和我在Nikon D3上使用Nikon F5的肩带不是一个原因吧？带竖拍手柄的相机，竖拍时使用竖拍手柄更舒服。

The camera shots 10fps with the nickel-hydride battery pack not AA’s.

If you don't see the Icon "H" and "
lol, funny to see you jump to hard mode when you've grown up with digital easy mode. how much of the blur can you fix in the editing process?
Not much~ have to get it right IN CAMERA next time!! 😂

What's the point of using such a large camera, if you're not going to use the vertical grip?
肯定是从日本买的，日本人喜欢送千纸鹤这种小礼物
ebay上买的 卖家好像就是日本人哈哈哈哈
