Analog photography takes a major hit from Canon. Because the company has announced that they will stop selling the EOS-1v, their latest analog camera. This model reached the market almost two decades ago, but its production stopped in 2010. In these eight years, the firm has been selling the stock they had accumulated. But this also comes to an end.
Therefore, Canon has already stopped selling this model officially around the world. This has been announced by the Japanese company itself. An important moment for the world of analog photography, which sees one of the best known cameras disappear.
This camera, the Canon EOS-1V, was always recognized as the fastest in this market segment. It was capable of shooting up to 10 frames per second and used analog reels to store all the content. A camera that rivaled Nikon models, which are still sold today.
For users who own this camera, there is at least some good news. Since Canon has commented that the owners of this model will be able to continue receiving repairs and support officially until October 31, 2025. This way they will be protected for a few more years.
While they have commented, it is possible that there are requests that are denied as of 2020. But the Japanese company has not said the reasons why some requests could be denied. So we hope to know more in this regard soon. Because it is about something of importance.
Canon's EOS-1V recall further limits the limited supply of analog cameras on the market. There are still a couple of Nikon models on the market. Although it is not known how long they will be available in stores. The logical thing is that there comes a time when they all stop selling. The question is when this will happen.
