I've removed all the "advertising copy" that went along with this info, even though there was some technical stuff in there. This is to try to comply with the charter's ban on promotional postings (even if it's me reposting a Canon document).

Lens Mount: Canon EF Mount (fully electronic signal transfer system). Usable Lenses: Canon EF Lenses Viewfinder: Fixed eye-level pentaprism. Gives approx. 100% vertical and horizontal coverage of actual picture area and 0.72x magnification with 50mm lens at infinity at standard diopter (-1). Focusing Screen (standard): Ec-R Bright Laser-matte screen with fine spot metering area mark. (Eight optional interchangeable screens are available, but must be changed by qualified technician.) Dioptric Adjustment: -3 to +1 dpt Eyepoint: 20mm Shutter: Vertical-travel focal plane shutter, all speeds electronically controlled. Shutter Speeds: 1/8000~30 sec. (in 1/3, 1/2 or 1 step increments) and bulb. Maximum X-sync speed: 1/250 sec. Mirror: Fixed pellicle mirror (Mirror blockage: None to 1200mm f/5.6). AUTOFOCUS AF Control System: TTL-CT-SIR (Secondary Image Registration) phase detection type using multi-BASIS (Base Stored Image Sensor). Focusing Point Selection: Selected automatically by camera or manually by user. Focusing Modes: (1) One-shot AF (2) AI Servo AF (3) Manual focusing AF Working Range: EV 0~18 (ISO 100). AF Auxiliary Light: Specified Canon Speedlites automatically project light through an ultra-bright LED (peak sensitivity: 700nm) when required. EXPOSURE CONTROL Light Metering: TTL full-aperture metering using a 16-zone SPC (silicon photocell). Five metering modes available: evaluative metering (corresponds to 5 focusing points), partial metering (covers approx. 9% of the central picture area), fine spot metering (covers approx. 2.3% of central-picture area), spot metering (covers approx. 3.5% of the picture area at each AF frame position) and center-weighted average metering. Metering Range: Evaluative and partial metering: EV 1~20. Fine spot metering: EV 3~20. (At normal temperature with 50mm f/1.4 lens at ISO 100). Usable film speeds: ISO 6-6400 (ISO 25-5000 when automatically set by DX code) Shooting Modes: 1. Intelligent Program AE with variable shift 2. Shutter-priority AE 3. Aperture-priority AE 4. A-TTL and TTL program flash AE 5. Manual 6. Bulb. Exposure Compensation: (1) AEB: +/-3 steps in 1/3 or 1/2 step increments, repeatable. (2) Manual compensation: +/-3 steps in 1/3 step increments, by independent operation of quick control dial or combination of exposure compensation button + main dial; can be used together with AEB. AE Lock: (1) Auto AE lock: AE lock occurs simultaneously with AF completion in One-shot AF mode with evaluative metering. (2) Manual AE lock: Possible in all AE modes by pressing AE lock button. Depth-of-Field Preview: Possible in all exposure modes, by operation of independent depth-of-field preview button. FILM TRANSPORT Film Loading: Automatic. Film automatically advances to first frame when back cover is closed. Film Wind: Three modes available: Single frame, low-speed continuous exposure, and high-speed continuous exposure. Maximum Film Winding Speed: (shutter speed: 1/250 sec. or faster) One-shot AF/Manual Focus AI Servo AF --------------------------------------------------------------- High-speed RS Mode approx. 10 fps Not Available Low-speed RS Mode approx. 3 fps Not Available High-speed Continuous approx. 6 fps Approx. 5 fps Low-speed Continuous approx. 3 fps Approx. 2.5 fps Shooting Capacity: (with 24-exp. film) Battery type Temperature AA-size lithium AA-size Alkaline Ni-Cd Pack E1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Normal (20C/68F) 250 (165) rolls 100 (65) rolls 65 (45) rolls Low (-20C/-4F) 90 (60) rolls 6 (4) rolls 45 (30) rolls Values in parentheses are for 36-exp. film Power Source: Eight AA-size alkaline batteries, AA-size lithium batteries, AA-size NiCd batteries or NiCd Pack E1. Film Rewind: Automatic at end of roll. Two rewinding speeds available: Silent and High-speed. (Maximum rewind speed with 24 exposure roll: approx. 4.5 sec. Rewind noise: High-speed mode: 59 dB; Silent mode: 48 dB.) Mid-roll rewind possible. Battery Check: By pressing the battery check button; battery level shown in four-step display in the LCD panel. OTHER Custom Functions: 14 custom functions available. Flash Contacts: Direct contact at accessory shoe and PC socket (JIS-B type). Simultaneous use is possible. Remote Control: 3-pin remote control socket provided. Data Display: In viewfinder and LCD panel. Multiple Exposures: Up to 9 exposures can be pre-set. Automatically clears upon completion. Self-timer: Electronically controlled with 2- or 10-second delay, selectable; Camera Back: Interchangeable with the optionally available Command Back E1. SIZE Dimensions: 161 (W) x 155.9 (H) x 78 (D) mm 6-5/16" (W) x 6-1/8" (H) x 3-1/16" (D) Weight: 1,300 gr/45.5 oz (body only, without batteries) 1,500 gr/52.5 oz. with 8 AA-size alkaline batteries.
