Canon have to come up with some new camera to keep the punters happy...

If so, The EOS is dead, long live the EOS...

Re: EIS system

Probably a development of their film camera the EOS 1n RS:

"The EOS-1N RS, introduced in 1995, with a permanently attached power drive booster. This camera has a fixed pellicle mirror so there is no viewfinder black-out at the moment of exposure. The fixed mirror allows high-speed continuous shooting at a top speed of 10 frames per second, with a shutter release lag as low as 6 ms."

The only reason it was restricted to 10 frames per second, was the need to transport the film forward a frame at a time. Obviously with digita, it could be a lot faster.
