Good price for a used Canon 1V-HS?
treyconnally:
Hey Everyone,
I'm looking into adding a film camera to my bag, specifically the Canon 1V-HS. So the question I have, is a price of $635.00 for the 1V-HS body a good price? I see them on ebay, but it's hard to trust the seller...
Should I take the plunge from an online used retailer? Or get it cheaper on ebay?
Thanks!!!

I've tossed this idea around many times myself. $635 is not bad at all. You can still buy them new at $1699, so $1k less is just fine. Look for a seller who has low useage/low shutter count, and a return policy. I'd pay $600-$900 for one depending on the condition, personally. Should the shutter go bad, no big deal b/c Canon will still replace the assembly, although it will cost you. I'd say go for it. I probably will in the future myself, just to explore the film-era again. I used to shoot film in the 90's and used Olympus equipment. I wish I had bought the Canon EOS-3 in 1999 though.

The price seems OK for a 1V-HS.
I would gladly exchange my 2 1nHS with a 1V-HS if I could find one in very good condition

Thanks so much @bdunbar79 & @tron for your assistance. Is 182 rolls of film a lot for a 1V? They want $500.00 for it, and it doesn't come with the PB-E2 Booster. So it's not considered the HS.

Even on ebay I see 1V bodies going for $400-500, only 1 a week or so. If it's from a reputable seller, or at least if you trust the description and/or can inspect beforehand, $500 is a bargain.
I got my EOS 3 off ebay a few weeks ago, ended up £130 shipped from a real camera shop in the UK offering warranty, just because it's from ebay doesn't automatically make it bad...
