>>3464880interesting statistics. i happen to own eos 620, 10, elan (100), and elan IIe (50) all mid range, advanced amateur cameras with lots of features and 1/4000 shutters. never had a rebel because i hate the small, dull viewfinders and because none of the better cameras cost more than $30 or so on ebay.
>The faster shutter speeds are actually more important with film, since you won't be able to change speeds mid-roll but you will likely change time-of-day mid-roll. i'm going to disagree with you here though the premise is understandable. i learned on, and most of my day to day film shooting is still with fully mechanical cameras (a dented SRT201 in my case), like all photography students. most popular mechanical student cameras all max out at 1/1000.
never thought of this as any sort of disadvantage as people that shoot lots of film use filters- lots of filters. it's part of the process. yellow, orange, red for b+w; skylight and 81b warming filters with color negative and slide film; and of course a set of nd filters: 1 stop to 10 stop in a neat little wallet in the camera bag. if you want to bokeh fag during the day, you use a filter like a grown up that knows their ass from their elbow.
film shooters have and know how to use filters. digital shooting gearfaggots only know how to evaluate a film camera by it's spec sheet because they know exactly dick about photography. TL;DR shutter speed is the least important thing about a film camera.
