There appear to be no sources cited at all, and a fair amount of opinion in this article. Shensey (talk) 22:25, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason why the 'advanced prosumer' description isn't in the table with the other marker segments. It would be easier to read and quicker for readers to work out the naming scheme. Prosumer is a made up segment anyway so that is not an argument against it. --Danio 09:40, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The list of EOS Cameras makes it look like primarily a digital series. There are 5 relatively recent digital SLRs listed, and 1 film SLR (the EOS 650, I guess the first one). The EOS-650 isn't exactly representative of the EOS film bodies.  :-)

How about at least including all of the current EOS cameras? That would be, it looks like, EOS-1v/1vHS, EOS-3, EOS Elan 7N/7NE, EOS Rebel T2, Ti, K2, GII (film bodies) and EOS-1Ds mark II, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D mark II, EOS 20D, EOS 10D, and EOS Digital Rebel (digital bodies). (Just reading off canoneos.com here.)

(Also, if I had to pick a camera photo to represent the EOS series, I'd pick one of the EOS-1 line. But that's just me.)

If you're looking for more information, I'd mention eye-controlled focus (ECF), which I believe is only available on EOS bodies, and image stabilization (IS), which I believe was first available on EOS lenses.

What about a section about IS (Image stabiliser) and USM (ultrasonic motor)

-- Just changed the section on L-series lenses a little bit - not *all* L-series lenses have flourite elements, but all have at least UD elements. The 70-200 f2.8L, for example, has no flourite. http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/ef/data/ef_70~200_28l_usm_bd.html has the block diagram.
